I found David Nickerson 54, wife Charlotte 49, Charley 14, Stella 9 and Gilbert 5 in the 1880 census of Grant, Jewell, KS. I believe that David died in 1883 in Jewell County. Can anyone look up county cemetery records for David?

Topic: Robert Benton Information
From: John Benton bentjohn@acegroup.cc
Date: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 09:47 AM
My Grandfather, Robert Benton migrated to Jewell County Kansas in 1884 from Richland County, WI. His wife's maiden name was Sarah Morrow. Children were Hugh M.(my father), John, Esther, and Eleanor (Born in Kansas). They moved back to Richland Center in 1901. I am trying to find out where in Jewell County that they lived. I know that they lived in a Sod House for awhile ... maybe the whole time. Robert was a school teacher/farmer.
Thanks
