Gen. & Historical Society ==================================================================== Sisney Cemetery T21, R15, S11 Highway 5 to Route W, right 6 miles This old burial ground is located on land first owned by Charles and Hannah Gooldy. Gooldy served as a Justice of the Ozark County Court during 1850-1852. The cemetery takes its name from other early settlers, E. T. Sisney and his wife, W. J. Sisney. More recently in 1975, later owners, Basil and Bonnie Coffey, excapted one acre for the cemetery by deed when the property was sold. The land is now owned by Clyde and Eunice Oberline. Unfenced and uncared for, the cemetery will soon be obliterated. At the time of the survey there were sixteen fieldstones, one with initials J. H. and dates 10 Jul 1896-25 Jul 1896. There are a number of unmarked burials including, in the lower portion of the grounds, the graves of several black persons. Inscribed stones, some broken and overturned, number ten, and the earliest date is 1878.
