Clark Cemetery

Clark Homestead Cemetery

Old Homestead

Also known as Clark – Boyd Cemetery

Section 20, Township 40 North, Range 12 West

Miller County, MO.

This was originally named the Clark Cemetery. I do not know who changed the name. From Eldon take Hwy 52 and go to Tuscumbia and there take Hwy 17. Stay on Hwy 17 until you come to Hwy A and turn left. Stay on Hwy A until you come to the Pioneer road and turn left. Stay on Pioneer Road until you come to the first left, which is a few hundred feet, and turn there. Just as you turn there is a large field and on top of this hill is the small cemetery. It lies to the left of the house and on top of the hill among a cluster of trees. The fencing is poor and cattle have knocked down the stones. It is not tended.

This cemetery is no longer in use.

My wife Julie and I just purchased the land the Cemetery is on. We started clearing out all the brush and will try to get a clear path up to it. If there is any family still around the area please let them know we plan on keeping it maintained. If you have any questions you can call also.
