John Skelton Grave near Seligman, MO - Out of Place Graves on Waymarking.com

According to the grave marker, which is laying on the ground, John Skelton lived only 43 years. FindAGrave confirms this. Two children were buried here in 1857 and 1860, and then their father John as the last grave in 1866. According to the plats, the family never officially designated the small area as a cemetery, but they buried some of their dead here anyway. John's wife, Elizabeth (d. 1913), is not buried here, but instead was buried in Munsey Cemetery near Eagle Rock, MO.

These graves are on private land, but the land owner was very nice about letting me visit. Just after I got there she drove out of the field and up to the house in her tractor. She mentioned that some contemporary Skelton family members occasionally come by to see the graves. Her dog was very friendly also.
