In the obituary it states that Mr. Clark Dukes would be buried in Dukes Cemetery. It also give the same info on his death certificate. But in the cemetery inscription books for both cemeteries, it listed Clark Dukes for Benton Ridge Cemetery, Benton Ridge, Hancock, Ohio. I took the photo of his marker at that cemetery.
