I have received some pictures of some of the headstones in Elijah Cemetery, Elijah, Ozark Co., MO. They were taken by a wonderful volunteer (aren't volunteers great?!). The pictures are by no means inclusive of all of the headstones in the cemetery, just the headstones with the surnames in my family and those headstones surrounding them that might have been of significance to me. It is a fairly small cemetery and she tried to get all of them, but it is possible she missed a few. I have only the information that is in the pictures, nothing more. Thought I would share the info on the headstones with HENSLEY names (and variations) on them. All of the various spellings that are typed here are the correct spellings for the particular stones. Other names I have some info on: TACKITT, TACKETT, WESTMORELAND, BUMLEY, and BRONSON. Hope this helps someone.
