Where is James Loren Harmon buried? I believe that he died betwee 1936
and 1940 in Florida and is buried somewhere in NW Florida.

Hello--

Do you happen to have his date of birth?

Well, I really spent some cycles on this one, because I found the
challenge interesting. I found the following record in the Florida
Death index available via ancestry.com.

Name: James L. Harmon 
Place of Death: Columbia 
Gender: M 
Race: W 
Volume: 748 
Certificate: 4220 
Death Date: 1937 

With this information, you may be able to get some more data from the
Florida government or the Colombia County government. There were only
7 cemeteries on the Florida Tombstone Transcription project web site
in Colombia county, so it's a good bet that Mr. Harmon's grave, if he
is buried there, is in a cemetery not catologued.

I then used the name and location to search a number of sites with
cemetery or tombstone registries, to no avail. I actually spent about
an hour browsing the Florida Tombstone Registry at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/florida/florida.htm using the county
map I found at http://www.floridacountiesmap.com (good name, no?).

First I searched most of the counties in the Northwest portion of
Florida, to no avail. Then I searched Colombia County (the county that
Mr. Harmon apparently died in in the year 1937), also to no avail. I
searched surrounding counties, but no James Harmons were found. Since
the data had to be browsed by hand, it can be time-consuming- but
interesting.

Good luck with your search, sorry I couldn't post a real answer.

Order his death certificate from the state of Florida and you will get
the name of the cemetery on the certificate (go to www.vitalchek.com
and click on the link to Florida to get Florida's official website).
