Tickridge Cemetery, Leesville Township, Henry County, Missouri
aka: Pleasant Ridge Cemetery

Location: T40, R24, S2 - 591 SE 1151 Rd, Tightwad
Landowner: US Government
Indexed by: Mar 2 1976 by unknown; mapped by Orren Molder; indexed Mar 17 1996 
by Linda M. Everhart with guides Linda and Lisa Faukenberry
Earliest Known Burial: 1901
Latest Known Burial: 1959
Directions: Three miles south of Tightwad on SE 1151. Near end of road, where it 
bends left and heads down to Truman Lake, an old lane leads off to the right into 
the woods. Follow lane a short distance, staying to right.
History: In 1895 the land where this cemetery is located was owned by the state 
and a school house was located just south of it. D. L. Molder and Overton Wills had property to the south and southwest. To the north was the Parks settlement, 
consisting of the Parks and Logan families, along with the Park's Chapel Church 
and cemetery. About 1/2 mile southwest was a saw and grist mill on the Grand 
River. In 1910 nearly all of section 2, and most of the land south to the river, 
was owned by John W. Penland. Some neighboring lands were owned by James B. 
Molder, S. P. Molder and R. L. Molder. It is not known when this cemetery was 
established or how many other unmarked graves may exist.
Condition: Overgrown and in ruins with no fencing or protection. A large tree has 
fallen to one side of the cemetery. I do not expect to find any stones remaining 
intact in the future if they are allowed to remain on Corps grounds.
