BRIDGETON MEMORIAL PARK Bridgeton, Missouri 1843 -------- 1963             This burying ground at 4616 Long Road was made into a memorial park in 1962.  In 1959 several lawsuits were filed against the City for allowing the cemetery to deteriorate.  Individual stones had already been removed "through error and misunderstanding" but members of the Bridgeton Historical Commission were able to learn the names of some who were buried there and a large monument was erected in 1963 which bears this inscription, "We honor the people buried here.  They were part of this nations adventure and their vision lighted the path we follow today."  At the dedication ceremonies, Mrs. Anna Wilson gave a talk about colored veterans who are buried here.  Records indicate that the cemetery was integrated from its beginning in 1858.  It was in use as late as 1954 and at least 100 people are buried in the two acres.  On the bronze plaque of the monument are the following names: Annie Adams           Auston Edwards    Enoch Mumps       Edward Walker Benjamin Adams     Auston Edwards, Jr.   Elio Phillips     Kit Walker George Adams         Grace Edwards       Eliza Phillips         Lizzie Walker Lottie Adams            Katie Edwards         Ike Phillips          Quiller Walker Ben Alexander         The Galliger Family   Tilly Phillips        Tommy Walker George Alexander   Almiria Grannison    Walter Phillips    Barbara White Henry Alexander       Creed Hall               Bell Pruitt               John White Lucy Alexander       Creed Hall, Jr.      The Pueroa Family        Noah White Eugene Allen           Hillard Hall          Fred Riddle Shibina White Arthur Bassett       Hiram Hall           James Robertson           Alice Wilson Dr. William Berry    Jack Haggerty      Will Rush                    Ernest Wilson Febie Bivens        The Heidron Children    Baron Scott        Geroge Wilson George Bivens         Lizzie Hodge          Louise Scott     Theodore Woodson Lizzie Bivens            Steve Hodge          Lydia Scott             Baby Woolfolk Millie Bivens           The Horn Family         Laura Smith      Hadley Woolfolk Rafe Bivens            Nasrus Jackson      Roberta Stanton     Gibson Wright Samuel Bivens       Amy Johnson           Lewis Stevenson      Hiram Wright Cosley Black           George Johnson     Fred Steward          Mamie Wright Edward Black       Julia Johnson           Henry Stocker          Green Young Hiram Black           Robert Johnson     Joseph Taylor        Mary Ann Young King Black             Turner Johnson      Abe Thompson      Skip Young Sam Balck                 Mr. Knight            Henry Thompson Bell Carter                Henry Lewis           Hiram Thompson Lilly Cheeks              Hal Lint                     Jenny Thompson Henry Clanton         Luvenia Lint               Mamie Tucker Fred Dickson           The McClure Family     Barney Vonsray Joe Duglas, Jr.         Jessie Moore            Texas Hall Wadlington      This list was given to me by The Missouri Historical Society P.O.
