Gen. & Historical Society ==================================================================== Elijah Church of Christ Cemetery T22, R11, S4 Route V, 8 miles from Highway 160 junction On November 23, 1885, Peter and Francis Spoon set aside approximately one and one-half acres of their land in eastern Ozark County for a cemetery, church and school. Two years later, George S. Harden established a post office nearby, naming it for his young son Elijah, and the Spoon Cemetery gradually became known as the Elijah Cemetery. When the church building burned in 1916, the land reverted to the heirs, C. A. and Maude Beach and Ed and Sarah Stewart. They then sold the land to the church elders for ten dollars. The elders at that time designated the land as a public burial ground, with the express condition that no musical instruments be used or kept upon or about the premises.
