| Ruth, I really don't know how to start this--I do not know how interested in the McLaughlin cemetery and the folks that are buried there.. I just came from visiting there, I hadn't been there for a long-long time but I will tell you this, I did not come away feeling very good, I was ill in fact--I have no relatives buried there but I hate to see situations like this. The cemetery is overgrown with brush and weeds, broken stones, fence in disrepair and etc. it is very disheartening. It is not beyond resurrecting if someone or some organization would expend a goodly amount of time effort and money to "fix" it. I do not know if anyone is interested enough, families and etc to do that. I have been told that the boyscouts from Parnell-Ravenwood did some work there last summer, cutting brush, weeds and etc. if they did they just scratched the surface. As you have been told, and it is true--you have to cross private property to get to it, open some gates and etc, the people that own the property surrounding it do not mind and there is a law in Mo that access must be allowed in situations such as this, but that is not a problem the condition is!!!! I have heard of cemetery's being moved, what that involves I do not know, but if it is possible that is what I would recommend--there is a cemetery called Brethern not to far from it that has plenty of space and is well kept--I'm sure some kind of a "deal'' could be arranged with them--that would put it out so people could find it and the folks could be remembered instead of being stuck back in the brush where they will be forgotten. Just some thought's so if you know someone that is interested let me know--- Bud -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Hi Pat,
I just received this note from Bud Allee which I think will interest
you. He has also sent me a list of burials. I don't know if it is a complete
list or not. I'm attaching it. Perhaps if you put it on the website with
a note about the poor condition, some descendants of these people will
see it and maybe something can be done. I'm related to the Fox and Michael
families. I've added some comments in blue. I don't know if the website
is an appropriated place for a description of the poor condition of this
cemetery. Let me know what you think |
