Compiled by the State Historical Society of Missouri the piece details private family cemeteries in early Missouri founded by Virginian settlers. It notes the decay of many graves through time and the preservation of a few like George Jewell’s “God's Half Acre” guarded by a trust, with several prominent names such as Scott Bates Marmaduke Ashley and Jewell. It also covers efforts to relocate graves and fund monuments while highlighting the cultural shift from private plots to public cemeteries.
