Section 35, T60N, R28W |
| Directions |
From Gallatin, MO go 2-3 miles west on St. Hwy 6
until route "DD". Turn right (north) on route
"DD" and go 2 1/2 miles until DD bends to the
left (west.) Do not bend with DD, rather continue
straight ahead in a north direction on a gravel road
called Kodiak Road (according to the 1998 Plat Daviess
County Book by Miller Management Services). Kodiak will
continue one mile north, then bend to your right
(eastward) one-half mile, then bend to your left
(northward again). The 1898 Plat Book plots this cemetery
on the left side of the road about 1/4 to 1/2 mile after
this last mentioned bend. The cemetery is not visible
from the road and is in all probability in disarray. |

(1) History of Daviess County (1984) by the Daviess
County Historical Society in a submission by Elizabeth
Jefferies on page 155 makes mention of this cemetery in a
piece on Marion Township Cemeteries: "The
Burton Cemetery located in 1916 on E. L. Burton
land, Range 28, Section 35, north on Route DD."
(2) The 1898 Plat Book plots a cemetery in Section 35 as
Ms. Jefferies says it to be and whose location is not
claimed by any other cemetery in the scope of this
website. |

urgently needed in locating this cemetery!!!
