Blue Springs Church Cemetery

Franklin Township

Section 35, Township 41 North, Range 16 West

Miller County, MO.

From Hwy 52 take Hwy Y for 3.0 miles. Turn left on Rte Z and go 1.6 miles to the Blue Springs Baptist Church, on the right. This grave is located in the circle driveway in from of the church. Most of the tombstones were moved to a higher elevation due to flood-waters, and it is reported that at one time there were five or six headstones, but today this is the only stone remaining at the church.
