also know as Clark – McGriff Cemetery

Osage Township

Section 20, Township 40 North, Range 12 West

Miller County, MO.

As early as 1934 this was known as the Clark II Cemetery. The Clarks sold it to McGriff and that name was tacked on. From Eldon take Hwy 52 to Tuscumbia and turn right on Hwy 17. Stay on Hwy 17 for 4.7 miles until you come to Hwy A and turn left. Stay on Hwy A for 8.2 miles until you come to Clark School Road and turn left. Go .3 miles to a driveway on the left, which goes to the residence of William Hodge. This is a long driveway and it is on private property. Go .6 miles down the driveway and just before you reach the house there is a winding partially graveled path that veers off to the left and goes in front of their house.

They do not mind visitors as long as you keep the gate closed past their house. As soon as you come to the gate open it and stay on the path until you come to the cemetery, approximately .1 mile from the gate and on the right. This cemetery is not maintained.

This cemetery is no longer in use. I updated a lot of this information using information from my family tree, which makes a more completed listing concerning those who are buried.
