Ray County MO; Pettus Cemetery, Elkhorn Located on the Glenn Pettus farm, east of the Elkhorn Elementary School on Highway 10 in Ray County MO. This is a transcript of a record by Carol Colleen Crowley and Joni Harris on November 5, 1985. It was passed on to my brother and me by Mr. Pettus. He says all the folks in this cemetery are related. I was in this cemetery in the summer of 2002 and took some pictures of the Phillips tombstones. The whole cemetery was badly overgrown. The cemetery is a good way off the road. It is fenced in as it is in the middle of a pasture. John Phillips (6th great grandson of John and Amy Phillips buried in Pettus Cemetery) Mary A. Haynes d.
