    3. WISE FAMILY BURYING GROUND Carole Goggin and I have located a previously unknown cemetery in Jefferson County, Missouri on 16 April 2007. I found a deed excepting this cemetery out a few years ago and have just now located it. It is in T42 R3 S14 on the banks of Big River. There was nothing visible above ground when we visited except a monument base which is all the farmer knew of. We spent 4 hours probing the area and found the following monuments which we re-erected; Footstone JRW (We think this could be the footstone for either Jacob or Jonathan Wise) PRUITT, Laban, born March 10, 1801, died October 5, 1864 PRUITT, James, born September 10, 1827, died November 21, 1862 Doing or preliminary research we could find no reason why the Pruitts are located here. They may have been renting the farm of lived somewhere in the area. If anyone has information please contact me at the below address. Dave Hallemann Sleuth.Em@sbcglobal.net
