Beverly, I did some research yesterday and noticed that there are no Wm. J. Merriott's listed in the Ceme records for Morgan county. I did fin a Wm Merriott b:Nov 18, 1844 on a death certificate that should have been listed in Richie Cem. but wasn't He probably never had a stone since he died May 18, 1929. He died of Influenza. He was born in KY also. There is a William Merriott buried in Richie Cem but all that is listed for him is that he was in Co. D 6 MO Cav. and is buried in G15. There is also a Jennie Merriott b: 1874 died 1955. And then there is a Emily Craig Marriott wife of William. She is buried in G16. That's a problem because the spelling is different. If your Wm. J. lived in Moreau Twp. he lived very close to my Merritt family. When I was about 11 years old there was a Merriott family that lived on Route 2 across from our farm. My grandmother said they weren't related to us because our family came from West Va. and they were from somewhere else. The problem with so many spellings was not they people couldn't spell the names but that there were so many variations that people assumed the spelling and so got it wrong at times on certain documents. I continue to look but have found nothing further yet. Bonnie Morris Conrad ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
Bonnie No, as far as I know there is not a Sadie in any of my Marriott's. Also G Grandmother and all the children left except for Aunt Mary had moved to OK by then.

Bonnie My g grandfather's name was William J. Marriott (Merriott) b. 1844 KY d. 1892 Morgan, MO. Two children died in 1892 also - Willie/A. F. b. 1880; and Jinnie/Jenny L. b. 1881 I think all three died from Typhoid Fever. In the 1880 census (the only one I have found for them) it is from Monreau Township, Morgan, MO. The spelling of Marriott depends on the literacy of the person doing the writing, telling or transcribing. My g grandmother Matilda Jane moved to Tulsa OK by 1900 as I have a census for her here.

Dear Bud or Bonnie, Clippings of the information on the cemetery destruction case in Morgan County would be appreciated. That is in an area that is commonly covered by Central Missouri Cemeteries website and sounds as if they need to be posted on the website along suggestions for changes to Missouri Cemetery Law. Cemetery destruction is a class C misdemeanor as defined under the statutes of RSMO-214. RSMO-194 is the statute that is the unmarked burial law and carries felony penalties. Please contact me at personal e-mail address below.

Wow!!! What a history lesson! It is awful that remains are treated so. Jerri ----- Original Message ----- From: kimbuc4@juno.com<mailto:kimbuc4@juno.com> To: mo-cemeteries@rootsweb.com<mailto:mo-cemeteries@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2007 4:58 PM Subject: [MO-CEMETERIES] Wesleyan Cem. A few days back Gail asked about Wesleyan, thought this might answer some of her questions. Bill The Final Resting Place is almost a joke. The Wesleyan Cemeteries are a great illustration of cemetery relocations beginning in 1840 some of these bodies were moved at least 3 times, maybe more. Once form their funeral then at least twice after that. Augustie Chouteau the founder of the City of St. Louis was moved 3 times and he owned the land he was first buried on. Cardinal Ritter specified that he wanted to be buried in the Diocese owned priests lot at Calvary Cemetery, he was initially, the now Cardinal Rigalli relocated his remains to the New Cathedral. I wonder how much of the body is really left since skeletal parts are lost during each exhumation, case in point the football field at Roosevelt High School is on the former Pickers Cemetery and as time goes by skeletal parts eventually work to the surface. When a cemetery is in the way of progress it is relocated, or becomes in some cases a Passive Park. Two examples of this are Old St. Marcus on Gravois and The Spanish Land Grant Park in Florissant. Bodies are still buried there, but there was no money available for the relocation. Depending on the amount of money available the relocations may take several forms: Grave by Grave removal and relocation to another cemetery. Grave removals and reburials in mass graves. During the second relocation (for airport expansion) of Washington Park the individual graves were opened the remains place in new caskets, earth capsules and then into an outer vault and reburied in another cemetery after identification. During this relocation effort a mass grave was uncovered which contained the remains from a previous relocation. Bridgeton Memorial (the oldest cemetery in the area) was relocated within the last few years to make way for the airport expansion. For the Hy 70 project parts of 3 cemeteries were relocated in this are, how many more across the country would probably be a thesis project. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// The following was extracted from a list of cemeteries by Kathy Smith and Keith Zimmer Wesleyan Cemetery (#2, Laclede & Market, west of Grand.

It is a shame that some people are so insensitive and/or money hungry that they would destroy a cemetery. But there are others who give their time and money to clean up old cemeteries, straighten the stones and try to do a survery of our ancestors who were buried there. My thanks go to these wonderful people. My g grandparents were Morgan County residents. (And I have not been able to locate my g grandfather's grave - makes you wonder.)

I am looking for the location of this graveyard - is it in Clark County or possibly Greene County? Josiah's wife Clarinda (Stewart) Gammon, believed to have died in Missouri, is she buried in Arnolds graveyard also? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

A few days back Gail asked about Wesleyan, thought this might answer some of her questions. Bill The Final Resting Place is almost a joke. The Wesleyan Cemeteries are a great illustration of cemetery relocations beginning in 1840 some of these bodies were moved at least 3 times, maybe more. Once form their funeral then at least twice after that. Augustie Chouteau the founder of the City of St. Louis was moved 3 times and he owned the land he was first buried on. Cardinal Ritter specified that he wanted to be buried in the Diocese owned priests lot at Calvary Cemetery, he was initially, the now Cardinal Rigalli relocated his remains to the New Cathedral. I wonder how much of the body is really left since skeletal parts are lost during each exhumation, case in point the football field at Roosevelt High School is on the former Pickers Cemetery and as time goes by skeletal parts eventually work to the surface. When a cemetery is in the way of progress it is relocated, or becomes in some cases a Passive Park. Two examples of this are Old St. Marcus on Gravois and The Spanish Land Grant Park in Florissant. Bodies are still buried there, but there was no money available for the relocation. Depending on the amount of money available the relocations may take several forms: Grave by Grave removal and relocation to another cemetery. Grave removals and reburials in mass graves. During the second relocation (for airport expansion) of Washington Park the individual graves were opened the remains place in new caskets, earth capsules and then into an outer vault and reburied in another cemetery after identification. During this relocation effort a mass grave was uncovered which contained the remains from a previous relocation. Bridgeton Memorial (the oldest cemetery in the area) was relocated within the last few years to make way for the airport expansion. For the Hy 70 project parts of 3 cemeteries were relocated in this are, how many more across the country would probably be a thesis project. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// The following was extracted from a list of cemeteries by Kathy Smith and Keith Zimmer Wesleyan Cemetery (#2, Laclede & Market, west of Grand.

Mary Jo, Glad to hear that you were able to obtain a new headstone. Its very important that all veterans are recognized both present and past. Thanks for updating us as to the status of your quest and it's nice to hear that someone here may of been able to help you! I wish I lived in a place that I could witness one of these events. I will be content with imagining a solemn ceremony such as this being performed since I live in Washington State and we don't have opportunites (that I'm aware of) to see a ceremony done by the Sons of the Confederacy.
