There is a website about the 'Freese' family name that documents burials in St Charles County, Missouri. Many of the 'Comments' on these headstones includes "MJM".
Richards Cemetery, Cuivre Township, St. Charles Co., MO (Missouri) http://heritage.freese.net/Cemetery/StCharles/Richards/index.htm - Several are marked 'infant' -- noted by MJM as 'infant children of Lewis & Fannie Bondurant'; she also notes one grave marked onlywith rough stones, which are still there. Gillette Cemetery, Dardenne Township, St. Charles Co., MO (Missouri) http://heritage.freese.net/Cemetery/StCharles/Gillette/index.htm - Information found then [mid 1920s] is noted here as 'MJM' in comment column. Humphrey Kline Cemetery, Cuivre Township, MO (Missouri) http://heritage.freese.net/Cemetery/StCharles/HumpKile/index.htm - Eleven names are listed by MJM, and only 7 were found in 1987. "MJM" marks those not found in 1987. McRoberts Logan Cemetery, Cuivre Township, St Charles Co., MO (Missouri) http://heritage.freese.net/Cemetery/StCharles/McRobertsLogan/index.htm - The stones noted 'MJM" at the beginning of the comments column are those not there today. The 'Freese' website also mentions St. Francis Cemetery, but there are no burials given. It appears that "MJM" are the initials of a woman who created transcripts for cemeteries in St Charles and Warren Counties in the 1920s. I've no idea who she was.
