Earliest burial date I found was 1876
After July 1st 1893 ...." After this date, a frame, two story school house was built and the Methodist and Christian Churches were also built." ~ Kingdom of Callaway Historical Society
The residence of this town only remember this as the christian church and the cemetery to them was a pioneer cemetery in front of which the church built their building.
I can find nothing in print to confirm or contradict the statements.
