Taylor Family Cemetery, Lawrence County, MO

This Cemetery is near the center of Section 8, Township 28, range 25, north of Chesapeake. Mr. Warren Carter found several sandstones in his field and he used many of those sandstones in the foundation of his barn. Upon further inspection of the field he realized it was an old cemetery. There is plenty of evidence of unmarked graves marked by sandstone with no inscription.
