Diane
Empire was once a town however now this area is part of Galena, Kansas which is located in the south east part of Cherokee county not far from the MO line. The cemetery as I recall is just north of present day Galena.
If your family owned their farm you should be able to get a location from the Register of Deeds, Courthouse, Columbus, KS 66725
Hope this helps,
Tom

Thank you, Tom & Gene. I will be in the Galena area about mid-May. Hope to find both Jackson & Sarah Ryan's graves in the Empire Cemetery. Also, will take your suggestion, Tom, and contact the county courthouse in Columbus about the deed info on their farm on Short creek.
