Cemetery lookup for 2 McCord brothers

Am trying to find the burial location and death date for 2 McCord brothers, James and Robert. Both would have passed aft. 1880. They were dry good merchants in Ft. Scott.
If they're not too expensive would love to have a transcript of their obits.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Mary

James and Robert are buried in Evergreen Cemetery just south of Ft. Scott on the old highway.

They are buried in section 9 row 11 and per the cemetery book. It appears that they share a gravestone.

James Aug 11, 1830 - Nov 1, 1898

Robert Feb 27, 1828 - Feb 16, 1892

There are several other McCord's in the cemetery, but they aren't buried right with James and Robert. Most are much younger. The only McCords of their era are Jennie who died June 8, 1892 lot 57 section 6 (no stone) and TJ who was born in 1867 and died in 1930 row 6 section 14.

I don't live in that area so I can't do an obit lookup any time soon. You might try the Old Fort Genealogical Society. They might do a lookup. I have not asked them to do research, but I have used the library. Contact information can be found at:

Thank you so much!! I was pretty sure they had passed in Bourbon Co., but just couldn't find the particulars. I really appreciate you taking the time and all on this holiday weekend to look and post for me.

Thank You Again-
Mary
