I have been asked a number of times where to buy the references I have used. Much of the information has come from books copied at the DAR library and Library of Congress in Washington, DC; and the Allen, Putnam and Washington County, Indiana libraries. Some of them are still available. I have annotated the bibliography so you can acquire them, if so desired.

Hello, I live in St. Louis, Missouri and saw on the local news tonight that There is a BRIDGETON MEMORIAL PARK - 1843 - 1963 ( North St. Louis) that is Looking for persons with family buried there. The airport is being expanded and they are going to move the CEMETERY. Is there a way to get this message to as many listers as possible in a short amount of time? Can you help! Pat Jones Smith St. Louis, Missouri USA MSmith3030@aol.com Here is more information. Notice names listed. Feel free to send on. We have Pat Jones Smith, of St. Louis, to thank for posts. (See end.) Alexandra BRIDGETON MEMORIAL PARK, Bridgeton, Missouri 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 nation's adventure and their vision lighted the path we follow today." At the dedication ceremonies, Mrs. Anna Wilson gave a talk about African-American veterans who are buried here. Records indicate that the cemetery was integrated from its beginning. 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: (alphabetized by secondary poster) Adams, Annie Adams, Benjamin Adams, George Adams, Lottie Alexander, Ben Alexander, George Alexander, Henry Alexander, Lucy Allen, Eugene Young, Mary Ann Black, Sam Bassett, Arthur Bivens, Febie Bivens, George Bivens, Lizzie Bivens, Millie Bivens, Rafe Bivens, Samuel Black, Cosley Black, Edward Black, Hiram Black, King Carter, Bell Cheeks, Lilly Clanton, Henry Dickson, Fred Duglas Jr., Joe Edwards, Auston Edwards Jr., Auston Edwards, Grace Edwards, Katie Galliger Family, The Grannison, Almiria Haggerty, Jack Hall, Creed Hall, Hillard Hall, Hiram Wadlington, Texas Hall HallJr., Creed Heidron Children, The Hodge, Lizzie Hodge, Steve HornFamily, The Jackson, Nasrus Johnson, Amy Johnson, George Johnson, Julia Johnson, Robert Johnson, Turner Knight, Mr. Lewis, Henry Lint, Hal Lint, Luvenia McClure Family, The Moore, Jessie Mumps, Enoch Phillips, Elio Phillips, Eliza Phillips, Ike Phillips, Tilly Phillips, Walter Pruitt, Bell Pueroa Family, The Riddle, Fred Robertson, James Rush, Will Scott, Baron Scott, Louise Scott, Lydia Smith, Laura Stanton, Roberta Stevenson, Lewis Steward, Fred Stocker, Henry Taylor, Joseph Thompson, Abe Thompson, Henry Thompson, Hiram Thompson, Jenny Tucker, Mamie Vonsray, Barney Walker, Edward Walker, Kit Walker, Lizzie Walker, Quiller Walker, Tommy White, Barbara White, John White, Noah White, Shibina William Dr., Berry Wilson, Alice Wilson, Ernest Wilson, George Woodson, Theodore Woolfolk, Baby Woolfolk, Hadley Wright, Gibson Wright, Hiram Wright, Mamie Young, Green Young, Skip This list was given to me by : The Missouri Historical Society P.O.
