Hi Sally: I don't live in Marion Co so I'm of no use <g>. However, I'm going to forward this to the Marion Co list and hopefully one of the great people who DO live in Marion County can help you out.

This may be of help to you, Sally. Both of these cemeteries were among those relocated when Bull Shoals Dam was built across White River back around 1952, flooding much of the land behind the dam. The Corps of Engineers removed the remains to existing cemeteries on higher ground. Billings Cemetery. Two graves were in a pasture in Section 25 of Township 21 North Range 16 West. These graves were relocated to Midway Cemetery. A note on the removal map notes: "Transport remains by boat across White River directly opposite Billings Cemetery to reach reinterment cemetery by nearest route. Vehicle access to cemetery via Dugginsville MO." Kings I Cemetery. Relocated to Midway Cemetery. Originally located in the SE corner of the NW quarter of the NE quarter of Section 8 of Township 20 North Range 16 east one-half mile from the Jones School in the vicinity of the present day Jones Wildlife area. There are some plat maps under Maps on the Marion Co web page http://www.rootsweb.com/~armarion that might be useful in finding at least the general location of these two cemeteries before their removal. If I can help further, let me know.
