Shoemaker Family Cemetary - Jewett, Madison Co., Missouri --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My mother is a descendent of the Shoemaker family. She and I visited the Shoemaker Family Cemetary on May 26, 1997. While there we spoke with Ruby Plake Kiger (My mother's first cousin once removed) and took the liberty of recording the names and dates on the headstones in the cemetary. Together with my mother and her cousin, we determined who was related to who as best we could. My mother (Wanda Louise NULL) is looking for any information about her mother (Verna Pearl MIDKIFF Null McCarty) and her father (James Everett NULL). If you see or know of any mistakes on this page please send me a note and I will correct this listing. There are many cemetaries that have been transcribed and placed on the internet for genealogists to see and use the information. I have never seen this cemetary listing (probably because it is a family cemetary). I hope this will help someone in their search for their ancestors. Location of the Shoemaker Family Cemetary From Piedmont, MO - Take 49 to Des Arc and turn right on highway "C". Take highway "C" to "Madison County 424" and turn right, go four (4) miles to the low water bridge on the right, cross the bridge into the cemetary. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME OF DECEASED SPOUSE DAU OR SON OF BIRTH DATE DEATH DATE BARRON, Jesse Plake BARRON, Porter PLAKE, James Harvey 25-Dec-1913 24-Feb-1993 BARRON, Porter BARRON, Jesse Plake ------ 2-Jan-1918 23-May-1981 BARTON, Lena Mae Midkiff BARTON, William Avery MIDKIFF, James S ------ 28-May-1972 BARTON, William Avery MIDKIFF, Lena Mae ------ 6-Aug-1912 2-Jan-1982 BOUNDS, Ruth Vera Midkiff BOUNDS, Lonnie MIDKIFF, James S 28-Jul-1908 26-Nov-1966 BURKS, Amzy Fay BURKS, Clara P SHOEMAKER, Oliver Perry 09-Oct-1890 21-Mar-1983 Shoemaker BURKS, Clara P Shoemaker BURKS, Amzy Fay SHOEMAKER, Oliver Perry 30-Mar-1891 25-May-1970 BURKS, Herschel H ------ ------ 2-Feb-1916 8-Mar-1936 BURKS, Hillas Eugene ------ ------ 21-Sep-1929 27-May-1967 BYARD, Marie Jean ------ BARTON, Lean Mae Midkiff 1-Sep-1930 1935 COOPER, Lucille Burks ------ ------ 14-Feb-1912 7-Feb-1953 COX, Bobby ------ COX, John W 7-May-1930 30-Nov-1976 COX, John W COX, Vercie ------ 9-Aug-1903 13-Jun-1977 COX, Vercie COX, John W ------ 2-Apr-1907 19-Jun-1981 ELLETT, George ELLETT, Nancy ------ 1913 1939 ELLETT, Nancy ELLETT, George ------ 1880 1953 ELLINGER, John J ELLINGER, Mildred T ------ 22-Apr-1905 25-Sep-1965 ELLINGER, Mildred T ELLINGER, John J PLAKE, James Harvey 5-Jul-1911 7-Nov-1978 FIREBAUGH, George H FIREBAUGH, Irene M ------ 9-Oct-1915 26-Jul-1968 FIREBAUGH, Irene M FIREBAUGH, George H ------ 3-Sep-1917 29-Dec-1965 HORTON, Wilma SHOEMAKER, Maglene ------ 1928 1994 KIGER, Ruby Plake KIGER, William R PLAKE, James Harvey 9-May-1922 LIVING KIGER, William R KIGER, Ruby Plake ------ 30-Jan-1923 26-Nov-1963 MARTIN, Elba Luaces ------ ------ 1946 1994 MARTIN, Esther C MARTIN, Willard M ------ 15-Nov-1930 LIVING MARTIN, Willard M MARTIN, Esther C ------ 29-Sep-1928 5-Aug-1989 MCCARTY, MCCARTY, Earl MIDKIFF, James S 1908 29-Jan-1936 Verna Pearl Midkiff Null MIDKIFF, Arizonia MIDKIFF, James S SHOEMAKER, Oliver Perry 21-Mar-1890 31-Jul-1960 Shoemaker MIDKIFF, Delbert ------ MIDKIFF, James S 1906 29-Jan-1936 MIDKIFF, Frank Oscar ------ MIDKIFF, James S ------ May-1945 MIDKIFF, James Adolph ------ MIDKIFF, James S 3-Mar-1924 3-Jun-1958 MIDKIFF, James S MIDKIFF, Arizonia ------ ------ 11-Jun-1947 Shoemaker PLAKE, Clyde R ------ PLAKE, James Harvey 29-Dec-1905 4-May-1975 PLAKE, Esther Shoemaker PLAKE, James Harvey SHOEMAKER, Oliver Perry 13-Feb-1889 1-Aug-1983 PLAKE, James Harvey PLAKE, Esther ------ 5-Aug-1881 15-Feb-1973 Shoemaker SHOEMAKER, Albert SHOEMAKER, Clydie SHOEMAKER, Oliver Perry 24-Apr-1883 29-Apr-1959 Myers SHOEMAKER, Alcey SHOEMAKER, Oliver WEST, Joseph Wilson 22-Aug-1856 11-Oct-1932 Adline West Perry SHOEMAKER, Clydie Myers SHOEMAKER, Albert ------ 22-Jan-1895 17-Apr-1983 SHOEMAKER, Lela P ------ ------ 1916 1994 SHOEMAKER, Maglene SHOEMAKER, Thomas L ------ 13-Dec-1886 6-Oct-1982 SHOEMAKER, May ------ ------ 1901 1913 SHOEMAKER, Mildred L ------ ------ 8-Aug-1915 24-Aug-1924 SHOEMAKER, Oliver Perry SHOEMAKER, Alcey SHOEMAKER, John A ------ ------ West SHOEMAKER, Thomas L SHOEMAKER, Maglene SHOEMAKER, Oliver Perry 4-Nov-1877 25-Nov-1940 STOFFEY, Frank W STOFFEY, Marion L ------ 10-Feb-1927 LIVING STOFFEY, Marion L STOFFEY, Frank W ------ 4-Jan-1933 LIVING WEST, Alma ------ ------ 1922 1940 WEST, Infant Son ------ WEST, Arthur L 5-Mar-1925 6-Mar-1925 WHITE, Fred L WHITE, Golda P ------ 27-Feb-1892 4-Feb-1945 (Kiger) WHITE, Golda P (Kiger) WHITE, Fred L PLAKE, James Harvey 3-Mar-1908 3-Jun-1982 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: When I visited the Cemetary in the weekend after Memorial Day 1997 I counted - 1 Unreadable Grave Marker and 5 Unmarked Graves with 1 having flowers (FOR MOM) that indicates it is a female's grave. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Elaine Chandler (© 1997 Elaine Chandler) USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
