Fox Cemetery, Big Creek Township, Henry County, Missouri

Location: T44, R27, S31 - 1027 Hwy N
Landowner: John Wall
Indexed by: Linda M. Everhart, June 14 1997
Earliest Known Burial: 1858
Latest Known Burial: 1871
Directions: One mile east of Blairstown on Hwy N to the home of John Wall on the 
north side of the road.
History: The original cemetery was located near the front fence line on the west 
side of the Wall home, near N Hwy. They were beneath a large shade tree that was 
struck by lightning and burned. In time, all the markers became buried. In 1995, 
earth-moving work in that area uncovered the stones and they were moved to the 
yard area for protection.
Condition: Four stones are laid flat on the ground in the backyard between two 
small outbuildings. Two markers are broken, but the faces are still in fairly good 
condition and readable.
