LUNDY CEMETERY
ELM, JOHNSON CO., MO

Complete inventory taken May 1987 by Amy Silvey Blain and Toni Blain Rodgers (5001 
Krueger Drive #2, Dickinson, TX 77539.  E-mail TRodgers2@aol.com).

*Additional entries (uncovered stones, possibly relocated graves, etc. since 1987) 
transcribed May 2000 by Marie Antal.  An asterisk (*)will denote additional entries.

This cemetery is located in the former city of Elm, located in Jackson Township, Section 
31, Johnson County, Missouri.

Directions:  Leaving Kansas City go east on Highway 50.  The town of Elm no longer 
exists; however, at the highway sign for "Elm Spring Church" turn south and continue 
driving until the next intersection is reached (no road names or numbers).  Turn west 
and drive until the next intersection at which you can turn left.  Approximately one 
mile on the left is a small dirt road (or path) leading up the hill to the Lundy 
Cemetery.  It is not accessible by automobile; however, a four wheel vehicle may be able 
to do so.  It is about one-quarter mile up the hill to the cemetery.

The first person interred in the cemetery was Louisa Edwards in 1855.  It was 
established before 1848 on a one and one-half acre tract by Ebenezer and Ruth Lundy who 
donated the land for the cemetery.  It is a beautiful old cemetery, located on top of a 
small hill back in the woods and is well maintained.

*This cemetery is now a little over grown and appears to have been vandalized.  Several 
of the tops of the larger stones have been tipped over.  These were so large that my 
husband and I were not strong enough to set them right on their bases again.
