Gerald,

I stumbled across the book your entry comes from.

The explanation of the various numbers is here:

http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=4110

Be sure to click for 'details'.

I can tell you that the "31" means that the entry is from DAR report for 1 Apr 1930-1 April 1931.

In the odd terminology of the abstracts, "Located" is not a date a grave was 'found' (if ever it was 'lost'). "Located" means when DAR published its location.

The other numbers are more complicated, and require close reading of the explanation. Using that information, you should be able to write DAR for a copy of the entry via their website www.dar.org, click on "Library" for instructions how to ask for and pay for copies.

The cemetery in question is a little more than a mile SE of Saline, in York Twp., on Milan Road.

Good hunting!
