I agree with Kathy Bowlin. I too, think your Sterne/Quisenberry's are probably buried in Mt. Pleasant Union Christian Church. My great-great-great grandfather; Minter Henry BAILEY was an elder of this church. I have the following article about this church which was in Howard Co. Hope this helps: Mount Pleasant Union Christian church, situated in Bonne Femme township, Howard County, was organized by elders William White and John McCune in September, 1854. The organization numbered twenty-eight members when it was organized � twelve males and sixteen females, to wit: Males Females John Evans Minerva Davis Moses Cleeton Sara L Fisher Samuel Moody Nancy Bailey G. H. G. Jones Elizabeth Ancell Joseph McCune Rutha Estis Elijah Ancell Jane Bailey John Asbury Sarah A McCune Minter Bailey Sarah A Jones Edward S Davis Moriah Cleeton Anderson Johnson Agnes Asbury John McCune Mary Manning Thomas Ancell Lucinda Moody Sally Ann Gilvin Sarah J Johnson Sarah F Ancell The local elders were Minter H. Bailey and Edward S. Davis; the deacons, Thomas Ancell and Anderson Johnson. The church was organized at the Baldridge school-house; a house of worship was begun the same fall, which cost $700. Elder John McCune preached about nine or ten years until war troubles became so bad that he moved to the state of Illinois. The members have been greatly reduced by the organization of Locust Grove congregation, and also Newhope congregation, and by a number moving away. They now number only about 35 members. Elders at present: George W. Potter, Thomas Ancell, Elijah Ancell, Minter H. Bailey; deacons: Dr. Dougherty, Elisha Ancell and ED. St. Clair.

June & Elbert - where are you? I'm pretty sure that there was a church and cemetery in the general area of Fayette / Higbee, Mo (Howard Co.) called Pleasant Hill. Some of the obits in "MoHoward" mention it - seems to reinforce my memory. As an adult, this Montana kid has only been on tours of that area a few times, once with Uncle Nelson Thompson, once with Elaine Thompson Roberts and her husband Gene, once with Mom (1975) , and once just my sisters and I and we were just following road signs. I'm sure I did the tour a couple times as a kid but that's too long ago. I think I remember hearing that the church had to be moved from its first location to its present site/ not too far, as I remember. I'm not sure if it still stands.

As the original poster of this message, I am still sorting out where Pleasant Hill could be mentioned in the obit of Capt John STERNE on 27th 1840 ...who died at Pleasant Hill, (the residence of J L Quisenberry)....MO Democrat Dec 1840. Capt John Sterne was age 80 at death - his daughter Elizabeth was married to James Quisenberry I am convinced this reference in vicinity of Howard County as other members of this family lived here. Taking this another step: The 1840 census for all of MO only lists 3 Quisenberry names: (1) James Quisenberry (Howard County) Richmond Twp (2) Daniel Quisenberry (Howard County) Unknown Twp (3) John Quisenberry (Boone County) Viewing again (1) James Quisenberry in Howard County from the census online at Ancestry - he is not James as listed, but rather J L Quisenberry from old handwritting. (4) males age 15-20 (2) males 20-30, (2) females under 5 (1) female 20-30 Neighbors of interest: John P Eddins** connected to Sterne family Robert Thompson (another poster mentioned the name Thompson) G H Carney Wm D Bagby Allen Hughes I am still sorting this out and hope to come up with an answer. Thanks to all who responded as I solve this mystery.

Laura, If you get a chance to look at the 1876 atlas and the 1898 atlas of Howard County, could you please also look for any farm by the name of Forest/Forrest Home? I have been searching for that for some time now. I have a letter written by a gentleman, to an ancestor of mine, who headed his letter with that name. I have no name for the gentleman.
