Hi Diana, The Platte City Cemetery location is 39 22 30 N Latitude 94 46 47 W Longitude From the Platte City Exit off I-29 follow Rte 92 Northwesterly 1.35 mile into Platte City proper to a jct with Rte N, instead of following Rte N South, take the city street North 1/2 mile. It is a large cemetery. The Hampton Cemetery location is 39 16 55 N Laitude 94 49 30 W Longitude Now go back to the Jct of Rte N and Rte 92 in Platte City. Follow Rte 92 South 7.0 miles to a Jct with a county road, follow the county road East 1.0 mile to a 2nd Jct ( but note a possible problem here as my maps are old and a new section of Interstate has been built across this section of road and I don't know if this road still goes through.) assuming it does, take the county road North 1/2 mile to a 3rd Jct. From there go East 1/2 mile. The cemetery lies north of the road. Duck when the airplanes go over, you'll be right off the end of the runway of KCI airport. Paul
Hi Paul, Thank you so very much for your time and the great directions to both cemeteries. I really appreciate it! Also, will remember to keep head down low when visiting Hampton Cemetery! My father-in-law's family all hailed from Platte Co. and surrounding counties in MO. There are a great many relatives buried around there, Blakleys, Shepards, Millers, Lewis's, Kimseys & Settles to name a few. Thank you so very much, Dianne Blakley in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2005 12:10 AM Subject: Re: [MO-CEM] Hampton Cemetery, Platte Co., MO > Hi Diana, > > The Platte City Cemetery location is 39 22 30 N Latitude 94 46 47 W > Longitude > > From the Platte City Exit off I-29 follow Rte 92 Northwesterly 1.35 mile > into > Platte City proper to a jct with Rte N, instead of following Rte N South, > take the city street North 1/2 mile.
