(Note: The town of Ratcliff is in Logan County; however, the Kersey
Cemetery is north of Ratcliff and is actually in Franklin County. I
checked the cemetery book for Kersey Cemetery and it did not list a
John Hoel. This only means that he does not have a headstone or the
headstone was not readable.)
