The Big Piney Cemetery is located across the road from the Hopewell Church, which is just a short distance from what used to be Big Piney. I was born in Big Piney, Pulaski County, Missouri in 1941 and have fond memories of it. However, the last time that I was able to visit that area, nothing much was left of the town but the church is still in use. Big Piney is located out of the south gate of Fort Leonard Wood and still does not have a paved road. The pavement ends just south of what used to be the town. Many years ago the township of Piney was thriving with a blacksmith shop, three stores all operated by relatives of mine. The largest store contained the post office and across the street from there was the Big Piney Hotel. One store build might be left but is not a store anymore. Sincerely yours, Wayne Carroll
