Discovering NW Missouri

Many, many years ago today Christopher Columbus set out to explore a new land. Today, the Edwards explored northwestern Missouri in search of a few ancestor's final burial spots. The drive took us through hundreds of miles of farm fields as we ventured within a stone's throw of the Iowa-Missouri border. Alas, we finally found the headstones of Ann Hammer and Isaac Benedict, Cody's great-great-great grandfather (on the Hull side). After years of scouring for family headstones across the country, this might be the last one to find on the Edwards and Hull side of the family.
