Joyce--
I believe that the online database referenced by Steve below is based on
the
Monroe County book, so it should be the same data, although as Steve
notes,
the online database is still having additions made to it.
Arvilla Farmer Davis is not included in the book. I count 15 Davis
entries
in the index for Spurgeon, 6 for the Davis Cemetery, 2 at New Liberty, and
one at Blackfoot.
Do you have her husband's name, and do you know if he is buried at
Spurgeon?
