"This cemetery was formed when the old cemetery was abandoned in order to extend an addition onto the
church building." ~ MoGenWeb - New Cemetery
"Section adjoining churchyard of St. John's United Church of Christ at Billingsville, Missouri. This cemetery
was abandoned in order to extend an addition onto the church building. The markers were moved to the
new cemetery across the road. Many years ago the markers from the Stegner Family Cemetery on the
land of Feodor Stegner were moved to this cemetery. They were stacked on the ground at the edge of
the cemetery near a small building, until this burial place was abandoned." ~ MoGenWeb - Old Cemetery
