GRAVEL HILL CEMETERY
Jackson Cape Girardeau County Missouri Genealogy Trails The Gravel Hill Cemetery in 1960 was a wilderness with cedar trees blown down, persimmon sprouts, honeysuckle, running rose and sagebrush. Because of loved ones buried there, Mrs. Truman B. Miller (Grandchild of Mahala Slinkard) and Mrs. Bessie Thomas decided to see what could be done. Enlisting the help of several men, they saw the cemetery restored. A log church called the Presbyterian School Church was once across from the cemetery. A new road has been cut thru about where the log church once stood. Robert Lail, Jr. inherited 40 acres of land on Kinder's Creek, 3 miles beyond Bollinger's Mill ( a military Land Warrant from his father, Robert Lail. On 26 Feb. 1859 he deeded 4 acres located 10 ft. above bluff spring NW 1/4 section 18TS31 Range 11E to Asa Stepp, Joseph Chandler, Randol N. Burford, trustees for a meeting house for all orthodox Christian and to be used for school purposes (Bk V P 170). The church membership listed until about 1886, when they start going to other churches in the Burfordville area. The cemetery is located west of Jackson, off highway 34. Turn off 34 before crossing the bridge to Gravel Hill. The "Kinder Hook" turn to the right and it will take you directly to the cemetery. Both Mr. Miller and Mrs. Thomas have passed away, however, a committee has been started and a fund donated to keep this old cemetery restored. Donations can be sent to Rada Lou Miller Kemp, Treas. 626 Sue Drive Jackson MO 63755...
