Barry County, Missouri Stinnet Cemetery, Purdy Township (T25N-R28W-S35)


From Purdy, Take 37 north to FR2070 and turn left (east), go to FR1055 and
turn right (north).  At the T in the road with FR2065 the cemetery is
directly opposite of 2065.  It is next to the Stone's Prairie Tree Farm.

The land was owned by Henry Stinnett and 1.7 acres was deeded for a
cemetery. It is fenced, very overgrown with briar and underbrush and has
several fallen trees. I found several stones off from the base but not
broken. Until the cemetery can be cleaned and an accurate inventory of the
markers can be made or official list is found, this is it. My great great
grandfather William Stinnett,  great grandfather George Washington
Stinnett, and William's daughter, Mary Ann Stinnett Shepherd are buried
there.
