Far West Graveyard



(MORMON)
Mirabile Township -- Section 9 & 10, Township 56, Range 29

Exact location unknown

The second oldest cemetery in Caldwell County, Missouri is the Mormon Cemetery west of the old town of Far West. It is thought to have contained two hundred graves, but records of only four of the dead have been kept. The gravestones have disappeared and the fields have been under cultivation.

CARTER, Gideon, d. Oct. 1838

O'BANION. Patrick, d. Oct. 1838

PACK, George

PATTON, Captain David, d. Oct. 1838

STOKER, Michael

Carter, O'Banion & Patton were killed in the Crooked River Battle and listed along with Pack by Bertha Booth in 1939 in her cemetery listings. The last name, Stoker, was sent to me by a great-great-grandson.
