    1. [MOJEFFER] Mt. Zion Cemetery
    2. Desoto Joe
    3. This one is located off of old Highway CC in Festus. There are many graves here & I know more are in here, than remaining stones. I have heard this cemetery referred to as Mt. Olive Cemetery also. It has been forgotten for some time & someone has been cutting trees & piling the brush on top of some of the stones. It is very hard to reach most of these graves during the Spring & Summer due to overgrowth. Roy J. Janis_ 12 / 8 / 1900 - 4 / 25 / 1952. Joseph A. Herzog_ 1895 - 1928. William H. Culton_ 1892 - 1962?
