Connie,
I don't know anything about the Eden Cemetery. But I do know that there are two unmarked graves in the Pearsol Cemetery near Dexter. Both Jonas McCarty and his wife Sarah Jane Jordan McCarty are buried there according to their obituaries. When my husband & I were back in Ohio about 10 years ago we took pictures of the headstones but couldn't find any for Jonas & Sarah. However, we did find two sunken spots large enough for graves side by side and we put twigs and photographed the two spots. My husband at the time was a sexton for a small old cemetery here in CA and was used to "sunken areas" where unmarked graves were - had to be very careful. Is there anything that can be done at this late date so people will know where Jonas & Sarah are buried.
