I am trying to locate the burial of Sarah A. Jellison. Her MT death certificate states she was buried in Miles City and the Miles City Daily Star reported "Interment will be in the Mount Calvary cemetery." Her husband at the time, Arthur Jellison, remarried after her death and he & his later wife are buried at Custer County cemetery.

I'm planning a trip that will put me in Miles City around the first of May and would like to visit Sarah's grave. Please, if anyone can help me locate her, I'd truly appreciate it.

Thanks so much,
Diane

That's the Catholic cemetery, which is relatively small. The library and possibly the sexton have a book with grave sites listed, although it isn't 100% accurate.

Thank you! If it's small, I'd be glad to walk it. Do you have an address?

Halfway down cemetery road. This is a small town. When you get here, anyone can point you in the right direction.

Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home has a listing of area cemeteries with links to maps:

You can also check with the Extension office in the basement of the county courthouse. They keep the list of interments there.

That's the sexton who shares space with the extension office.

Wonderful info ~ this will make i much easier! Thanks

Do you know where the sexton records are for the Custer County cemetery? I believe some relatives are there as well ~ thanks.

The Miles City Public Library has book put out by the genealogical society about 20 years ago with the locations copied from the sexton's book. The sexton no doubt has a listing as well, although he may be a bit harder to get in touch with than the library, as he is out tending the cemetery.

The cemetery office phone number is 406-874-3370 or you can write them at 1010 Main, Miles City, MT 59301 and they can help with your questions.

Who is the cemetery sexton these days?

Arthur Jellison was my grandfather. I would like to meet with you when you are in Miles City. I will try to find her grave before then. My number is 406-853-3677.

You can call the extension office at 406-874-3370 and Cindy can help you. She is the secretary there and she always a great help to me when I go into look up grave locations.

Thank you all for your help in making my quest much easier. D
