This gazebo is entirely bult of wood. The cemetery name is in small wooden letters down the front entrance post. There is not seating. There is a marker plaque, but no text is written, or readable, and longer.
The gazebo is fancy, with Victorian scroll work and turned spindles.
Some web sites say this is in Bellflower, MO; and some say Middleton, MO. Actually, these two town are the only one close with a post office. Bellflower is about 9 miles SW of cemetery; and Middletown is about 7 miles NW of the cemetery.
The former town of Gamma is about 3 miles W and little Olney is about 3 miles E, all on State Highway E.
The cemetery is well groomed, and the sandstone tombstones all have been cleaned with the new restoration process known as DNA. They all sparkle bright white in the sun shine.
