This cemetery is located on the "Old Andrews Farm", Rural Route, Bonne Terre, St. Francois County, Missouri. As of 1979, the farm was owned by Orville Mund. This transcription was submitted by family of the late Floriece (Flo) Horn LaBare who transcribed the cemetery in 1979 in connection with her personal genealogy research and subsequently published by the Mo. State Genealogical Association in their Fall 1985 Journal. |
