They are two different cemeteries but as they are next to each other they are often treated as a single cemetery. The Clay County Archives & Historical Library can do a lookup for you (small fee).

Surnames: Davis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/hMB.2ACI/875 Message Board Post: Copy of bio from a private request. Source is "History of Clay and Platte Counties" 1885 WILLIAM H. H. DAVIS Mr. Davis, an old and respected citizen of this county, was one of the early settlers of the county. He came to Clay county in 1836. Mr. Davis was directly from Saline County to this county, but was from Arkansas to Missouri. . His parents, Samuel ‘B.’ and Elizabeth Davis, went to Arkansas from Kentucky when he was in childhood, away back in 1821, and settled in Hempstead county. William H.H. Davis, who was born in Logan county, Kentucky, June 3, 1816, reared in Arkansas, and came to Missouri when a young man. He became a farmer and stock-raiser 11 Clay County and in the fall of 1839 was married to Miss America W. Estes, a sister, to W. W. He afterwards continued farming and stock-raising and in 1850, went to California and soon afterward returned. In 1859, however, he moved to Texas and and made his home in that State until after the close of the Civil War, returning in June, 1866. After that time Mr. Davis was actively engaged with his farming and stock-raising interests until his retirement from active labor some years ago. His life as an agriculturist has been one of success. He accumulated an ample property for old age, and now has a fine stock farm of 600 acres, which is well stocked and well improved. Since his retirement, his son, William P., has had control of the farm, and is carrying it on with marked energy and success. In November, 1880, Mr. Davis had the misfortune to lose his good wife, the true and brave and generous— hearted, devoted woman who had been the partner of his joys and sorrows for over forty years, and with whose life his own being had become so thoroughly united that ! it seemed to him worse than death itself to lose her. But in that sad hour when the parting came there was one consolation, one hope that sustained him and made him brave to bear the heavy bereavement — the consolation and hope that the separation could not be long, aüd that in a few years their lives would again be united in a happier union, even, than they had known on this side the grave. Three children were the fruits of their long and happy married life: Thomas H., James J. (deceased), and William F. William P. Davis was born on the farm where he now resides, August 12, 1849, and learned the practical details of farming and stock raising as he grew up. In 1876 he was married to Miss Annie Brasfield, a daughter of William E. Brasfield, whose sketch precedes this. They have two children, J. W. Lesler and Nellie. Mr. Davis, Jr., like his father-in-law, Mr. Brasfield, makes a specialty of raising fine saddle and harness stallions and fine jacks. He has a! representative of one of the best breeds of horses in this country. T he stock originated in Virginia, and was named for a family in the Old Commonwealth, noted for their flue appearance, chivalric qualities, and all that sort of things, and the men for being remarkably “fast’’ —the Claibornes. They were one of tbe best families of Virginia, and knew that fact quite as well, if not better, than any one else. Mr. Davis’ horse is named “Pat Claiborne,’’ and any one can see at a glance that he is a regular, genuine, high-stepping, high-headed “pinked” Claiborne. He is one of the finest horses iu the country, a horse of which his owner may well he proud. W. P. Davis makes a specialty of shorthorn cattle, having his farm well stocked with some of the best blood, as well as good individuals. He has young stock for sale. The farm is situated three miles northeast of Liberty,. on the Hannibal and St. Joe Railroad.

Have the postings on November 26, 2003 , about Gladstone city plans for Big Shoal Cemetery brought any results? Does anyone know of a central collection point for information leading to protection of the cemetery? I replied to Mike Rice, the writer of the KC Star article copied, and I forwarded the posting to an Atkins descendant with an interest in the cemetery, but don't know what the status of plans is now, January 1, 2004. I have a particular interest in the cemetery as my great grandparents, Daniel and Minerva BROWN (nee MALOTT) are buried there, and nearby are her parents, Samuel White MALOTT and Nancy MALOTT (nee HYMER). The latter are among the earliest Clay County residents, having come with their own parents in the 1830s. Samuel Malott's land in 1877 was north of the cemetery; part of it is apparently now Happy Rock Park. When I visited the cemetery in 2000 I understood that it had been maintained by the Clay County Historical Society, but Mike Rice's article says that no one officially looks after it now, the basic maintenance being done by two volunteer neighbours. I live far away, but will be in Kansas City next week and wonder if there is anything I can do. A phone number was listed for Gladstone; is there an e-mail address for someone responsible there? Hope someone can help. Sylvia Wees

Harris living in Platte Township in Clay County, MO in 1920. He is shown as age 26 with wife Bertha, age 26 and children Beulah 6, Harold A. 3, Mildred L. 1. Based on the age of the children, Jessie and Bertha would have been married about 1913 or 1914. I believe this to be the Jessie Harris I have been searching for some time. If anyone is researching this family or the Harris name in Clay County, I would like to compare notes. Linda Gregory
