This cemetery has no sign, and I have not found it on any topographical maps, or any on-line maps, either as a POI or with the green background with white crosses. It is located in the near ghost town of
Mountain. The folks at nearby
Mountain Bible Church maintain this cemetery in good condition. (We were members of that church for about 1½ years.)
At the time of this waymark posting, in FindAGrave there was 1 duplicate record, and the latest burial was in 2008. It looked to me like there were some stones that were missing names and dates, so there may be more than what is recorded. The oldest recorded grave is from 1865.
To get to this cemetery from points north, take Missouri State Secondary Route KK from its junction with MO-90 for 2.6 miles south to Mountain Road. Turn east onto Mountain Road and go .2 miles to this point:
N36°32.383' W94°07.227'
which is the entrance to Mt. Pleasant Road, just west of Mountain Bible Church. Turn north on Mt. Pleasant Road to this point:
N36°32.514' W94°07.141'
which is where the lane to the cemetery heads off west; then take this lane to the Waymark coordinates.
The cemetery is currently in two portions. The north portion is in a bit more dense trees, and the graves there are both very old as well as more recent. The south portion is in a more open area, and I only saw 3 graves there, all relatively recent, including the most recent at the time of this posting.
