How do I locate a grave?

You can contact all the cemeteries in the town. They will have records of him as well as where the plot is located. One of my local cemeteries has records going back to 1874 when they first opened. You can also contact churches in the area. Many of them have their own church burial plots. He may have been buried in another town. Check with elderly members of the family to see if there is a family plot somewhere.
