was where I got the
information below, from the St. Louis Cemetery. The listing says
that Frances was buried "w/o Orville". I guess I was assuming that
that meant that Orville was buried in a different cemetery. Maybe he
is in the same cemetery, but not nearby.
I was actually trying to get a more definite death date, so that I
could perhaps find an obit, either in a Batesville paper or in either
of the newspapers of the town where he lived previously. (I've
already checked the cemetery listings there.)
Are all of the cemeteries in Ripley indexed?

I found cemetery listings here also but, most of the links did not seem to
access the info I was seeking and a specific search for Holton Cemetery
(which I had some knowledge of) did not produce any results for my
ancestors.
THE SURNAME CHECK MAY BE OF ASSISTANCE IN THESE SITES!
Good luck and God Bless!
