I love when something finds you. I've had it happen a lot.

Did you have any signs from Jimmy or Kim over the years that they were deceased?

No, and yes.My brother and I were very close.After the first and last time he called me,i held onto hope.Alot ran through my mind.It was a long time of hope confusion.So much crossed my mind.One thought was Mexico prison,one was he's protecting his loved ones from something.I tried and tried to find any one someone who knew kim.I didn't know if she had came back to mi,that she may know something.Every thought or hope I held onto,I could never get any where with .My heart didn't want to accept the worse ,I knew if Jimmy could he would find me.The last few years,I told myself they were murdered and thrown off a mountain ,never to be found.I told myself we would meet again when my life here was done.Thats how I coped for all these years.I would hold a sweater he got for me,at Christmas time in 77,look up in heaven and say where are you where are you two,What happened,I did this often.Then I'd put sweater back,i did this many times.I still have the sweater ,and to be honest I dk where it's at,i know I have it.It will reappear ,when God decides it's time and I'm ready.Thank you

I wonder if someone reading this thread has a newspapers.com account to see if there's an article on his burial

I have an account and will look up what I can. Can you give me suggestions for search terms. I'm not too familiar with this case but assume he was still unidentified when buried.

ETA: Here's a link to Little Prairie Cemetery in Caruthersville, MO

Also, if it helps, my family recently had a memorial stone (cenotaph) placed at my gr-grandparents grave (it was a smaller stone placed at the foot of their graves). The stone was for my gr-father, their son, who disappeared in the 1930's and was rumored to have been murdered. When I talked to the cemetery, they were very helpful. They said as long as we were family members of the people who were already buried there, it was considered our property and we were free to put another stone there.

Since she's a relative of James Hendricks, the cemetery shouldn't object to having a stone placed there. She would need to check on the regulations of the cemetery for the size and type of stone. Contact the local monument company and they will be familiar with what she needs and what the cemetery wants. The cemetery should have the location for James grave in their records.

Here are YP listings for local monument companies. Looks like the closest are in Dyersburg, TN or Memphis.

Local funeral homes also have records of burials. One of them did the burial for the county coroner for unidentified people

Even if a funeral home is sold to another company or goes out of business, they usually give their burial books to another local funeral home.

Try Pemiscot county John Doe 1978. The cemetery is saying he's not buried there. That's why I suggested news articles to see if it was covered that someone donated services to see where.

Thanks for any help you can give her.

I found an article in the Springfield Leader Press from 29 Jun 1978. It stated the woman had already been buried, didn't say where, but assume in Pemiscot County. Mike Hazel, prosecuting attorney of Pemiscot Co, asked for a week's extension for burial of the man. He said his body would be photographed and the photo sent to a Missouri newspaper artist who would create a sketch and distribute it

https://www.newspapers.com/image/307623201/?terms=pemiscot+county+burial

That's all I can find so far. There was no local paper in Caruthersville or Pemiscot County in newspapers.com. Nothing in Dyersburg paper, either.

It might help to contact the local funeral homes. They do keep records of cemetery burials as, obviously, they don't want to bury someone in an old grave. I learned this when I took a class in genealogy and have had good results when contacting local funeral homes in my own research. Funeral homes would know which locations coroners use for burying unidentified and indigent people.

I'll keep looking. I noticed the Cape Girardeau newspapers aren't archived at newspapers.com. They may also have a news item if you can find their archives. I went to college in Cape Girardeau and had a lot of friends who lived in SE MO. This happened a year after I graduated, sad to say.
