Note: : Missionary Cemeteries I & 2

Royce T. Stringer

Location: Section 15 Township 3 North Range l2 East

Section ? Township 3 NorthRange 12 East

Directions: Unable to locate these two abandoned cemeteries in spite of concerted efforts by many people both within and outside the organization We were informed by two sources that one of these cemeteries was on land owned by a large timber company and the site was leveled into a ravine by heavy equipment-Hopefully this can be disproved by someone coming forth with precise locations of these two lost cemeteries.

According to published early Jasper County history two cemeteries were once present within a mile of the old Missionary settlement
