CROPPERVILLE CEMETERY (#103)

 T23N R5E SEC 6

Map #1

 (location approximate)







     North of Myers Lake, where the SEMO camp is now, there was once a
     large established camp of migrant workers,  many of whom are probably
     buried in the area. The area became known as eventually became known
     as Sharecroppers camp and/or Cropperville. The cemetery was unknown to
     us until recently until it was found mentioned in an obituary.  There
     is nothing to be seen there today. The location is assumed in this
     section, as it is known this is where the Sharecroppers camp was
     located.
