<DIV>Now these are the kinds of puzzles that make genealogy interesting!
Have you approached this from a different angle? By the 1930's most
localities required a bit of paperwork before a burial. I think this would
be particularly true if the death occured in one state and the burial in
another. There may be transport permits issued in the locality where the
death occured and burial permits in the locality where the burial occured.
In the past I've found burial permit records in a county courthouse, and several
times in municipal records when the cemetery was located inside a city
limits. I believe it was also common practice for the funeral homes to
keep copies of the permits for the burials they handled. Sometimes those
records have been passed on to local historical or genealogical societies when
funeral homes have closed. </DIV>

<DIV>As to the actual "family plot", my guess is that your
great-grandparents are actually buried there...more together in death than they
were in life. I have seen this happen. It depends, I think, on who
was the next of kin at the time of the death. If both your great
grandparents outlived their respective spouses and there were no children of the
second marriages, then the child or children of their original marriage may have
wanted to see their parents buried together. There may have also been a
practical reason; if the burial plot was already owned, for example...money may
have been tight for the family in the 1930's. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Strange things happen after a death...old sibling
rivalries and long forgotten differences can revive as a
tug-of-war over funeral arrangements. I know of one lady who kept her
mother's ashes for nearly three years, to the frustration of her siblings and
the rest of the family who wanted their mother's remains properly buried!</DIV>

<DIV>I hope you will give us updates as you solve this riddle...</DIV>
