    3. I don't know if this will be of any help to anyone, but here it is... This week we went canoeing in Crawford Co., on the 3 rivers there. While there, I had to go grave seeking and found the following on a 100' high hill. I knew I wasn't in the best shape, but after clawing my way to the top, I had to sit to catch my breath thinking that coming down HAD to be easier. WRONG! This cemetery is located at the Huzzah Valley Resort, Steelville, MO., although this is not actually in Steelville, so that must be the mailing address. The rock-enclosed cemetery did not contain civil war soldiers, as I was told, but 2 families. Here are their names, dates and epitaphs...
