Woldridge Cemetery, Grundy County, MO

This cemetery is located in Jefferson Township; S36-T60N-R25W. It is in a field about 1/2 mile north of the road. fenced with gate, and has been cleared of brush (1964). There are four large old cedar trees; several graves are marked with native stones or are unmarked. The two large cedar trees in the center of the cemetery each have an unmarked grave at its base. This pioneer cemetery is one of the oldest in the locality; the land was purchased from the government about 1830 by the WOLDRIDGE family. The cemetery was recorded in 1964 by Mrs. B. F. Hoover, Mrs. Vernal Ralston, and Mrs. John Gondringer.
