I was hoping to get some help with a photo request. I have two ancestors buried in Mapleton Cemtery, John D. Ball and his wife Carrie. I've been told that their graves are unmarked but I would like to confirm that. I'm not sure how big the cemetery is and whether it would be feasible for someone to take a look. Any help would be appreciated.

The Old Fort Genealogical Society Mapleton Cemetery Book lists the following surname BALL:

Avalene A., Benjamin F., Henry C., Nora Phipps, Thomas Edward, William Mark, and William W.
The good news is that your Ball burials may have a stone and just be located somewhere else. Have you tried calling the OFGS in Ft Scott requesting a lookup? They are very helpful 620-223-3300. Only open 1-4PM
