Far West Cemetery - Boone County, Missouri Barnes Road Far West Cemetery From the Centralia Fireside Guard 10 Jul 1985 Far West Christian Church, an affiliate of the Disciples of Christ denomination, was located near the cemetery. The structure, however, burned to the ground more than three decades ago, leaving only a few scattered stones of the foundation and two sets of concrete steps as evidence of its existence. The two sets of steps were for two different doors, one for the men and one for the women, When the church was first built, they didn't want anybody to be distracted during the sermon, so the two sexes were seated separately. History of Far West Christian Church From "The History Of Boone County" page 559 This church stands on the northeast corner of section 22, township 51, range 12. The congregation was organized sometime in the year 1858. Three of the original members were Jesse Roberts, Alfred Wainscott, and W. Denham. The first church building, a log structure, was built either in the fall of 1852 or the spring of 1853. It was proposed by James Hendricks to raise a subscription for the building of a church before any organization of any denomination was formed. The people believed that if they would build a house in which to hold meetings that they could obtain the help of a minister and have regular services, and thus improve the moral tone of the community. Mr. Hendricks headed the subscription list and the money was raised and the building completed several years before the organization of the Christian church. The present church building, a frame, was completed in the fall of 1880. Its cost was about $700; a great deal of the work of construction was done gratis by the community. The land on which the building stands was deeded to the use of the Methodist, Christian, and Baptist churches," although the Christian Church was the only denomination holding regular meetings. Rev. Stephen J. Bush was the first preacher in the new church. The present membership is about 45. ------------------------------------------------------ LAST NAME FIRST NAME BORN DIED NOTES Barick Delila 10 Apr 1885 w/o EV Barick Barnes Jennie W 13 Jan 1864 20 Oct 1872 8y 9m 7d d/o TH & AH Barnes Boon Sarah A 26 Dec 1831 19 Nov 1903 71y 10m 24d Bryon James I 09 Mar 1857 03 Jun 1857 2m 25d Bryson Ida May 28 Sep 1874 27 Mar 1897 w/o H.J.
