Family History Library has book 977.835 Marion Co MO Hannibal, Missouri Riverside Cemetery records. I am looking for the INTERMENT records which the book referees to as available from Tri County Research P.O. Box 1151 Hannibal, MO 63401. Is this still available? I have the date of death for William McClormick Loudon, but the book says his birth was Cumberland MD and I think it should have said Cumberland, PA. I want to see those actual records. Thanks for you help.
I am looking for information on Edward Green, perhaps originally James Edward Green, who served in Co D, U.S. Colored Infantry, during the Civil War.

Looking for information on Charles Tilton, specifically his burial location, he died between 1880 and maybe 1882. He was living in Palmyra, Marion County, Missouri. He had married Mary Foster in 1859 in Marion County. Mary’s mother also named Mary came to Palmyra with her husband ,I believe William Foster about 1822 from Kentucky. Mary’s husband died in 1829 leaving her with 5 children, William born abt 1818 in Kentucky and Susan, Richard, Mary and Sarah. The last 4 born in Marion County. Mary Foster continued to live in Marion county and died in 1879 never having remarried. Any information about this family would be much appreciated. Thank you.
