The Direction of Numbers


Dave and Tom and I met with the Metro Pioneer Cemetery folks yesterday and were presented with the list of burials in MPC, all 11,567 of them!

It is apparent that Rachel and her staff have a passion for the work and I left feeling that the management of the pioneer cemeteries is in very good hands.

There will be gaps in the records and misspellings and the missing markers are sure to drive us across the street to Starbucks to scratch our heads and pour over records over a mocha or two!

Dave is doing an outstanding job of documenting the headstones and our Findagrave page for the cemetery has more than 2000 entries.

Are there really 11K interments in this cemetery? I suspect we will find more.
