Submitted & © 2001 by: Kathy

This cemetery located near French Village, Ste.Genevieve County, Missouri. In September of 2000 I was allowed to visit the Bequette cemetery located on a privately owned farm not far from French Village, MO. The cemetery is small, divided into three sections and is in a wooded area between some fields. It is quite a distance and not visible from the road. Though somewhat overgrown, the grave markers are legible.

Area 1 BEQUETTE John E. 07-06-1832 05-24-1912 79 yrs. 10 m. 18 d.
One tall stone; area enclosed by an old style black fence with a gate; 3 concrete steps lead up to the gate. There is a space to the right of this headstone without a stone or marker. I do not know if anyone was buried there, if the grave marker is gone, or if a marker was ever placed there. When I spoke to the man (not a Bequette) that currently owns the property he did not know if anyone else had been buried there
