"The Mt. Pleasant Cemetery is located on County Highway F, about 1.5 miles north of the town of High Hill, Missouri.
"In the late 1800’s a church, the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, resided on the property adjacent to the southwest portion of the current cemetery site. The church included a small cemetery. The present cemetery was established in 1880 by a deed conveying ownership of 6.025 acres of land encompassing the currently developed cemetery to the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery Society. In August 1956 the cemetery was incorporated as a General Not For Profit Corporation under the name of the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery Association, Inc. In 2011 the cemetery purchased the ___ acres abutting the northern border of the original cemetery for future expansion as the need arises.
"The early history of this cemetery is unclear, as early records have been lost. Any input on the history of this cemetery for inclusion in this website would be appreciated.." ~ Mount Pleasant Cemetery
