Livingston
Members of Livingston family have been buried in the following cemeteries:
- Campbell in Sullivan County, Missouri. This page is a not a complete listing and does not include any of my ancestors. However, while at the Family Research Library in Salt Lake City, I found a record in the Schoene Funeral Home Register which stated they were interred in Campbell. Another book, Sullivan County, Missouri Cemetery Records Volume V, had a complete list as of 1955 and they appeared in that book as well.
- The Miller Cemetery (no link) is a small private cemetery located four miles west of Pollock, MO on the George St. Clair Farm. The two graves that are there are my maternal great-great-grandparents (or maybe its great-great-great).
- The Brackett Cemetery (no link) is located in Section 17, Township 64, route 21. It lies adjoining the north side of the John Lievasy farm, five miles east and one and one-fourth miles north of Harris, MO. The cemetery was originally part of the J.M. Tucker farm. The compiled list (found in Cemetery Inscriptions of Sullivan County, Missouri 1954 at the Family Research Center) contains maternal ancestors.
- Wilhite in Sullivan County, Missouri.
- IOOF in Grundy County, Missouri (maintained by Larry Flesher)
- Richardson, aka Laredo and Sandbank, in Grundy County, Missouri.
- Other cemeteries yet unknown near Pollock and Milan in Sullivan County, Missouri.
- A key source is the Kent Funeral Home Records. Their database includes all records generated between the founding of the funeral home in 1915 through December 31, 2003. It shows the name, birth date and death date of the deceased, along with marital status, name of the spouse (including maiden name), parents' names and the burial cemetery. The Kent Funeral home is located in the northeast corner of Sullivan Co., Missouri near its intersection with Adair and Putnam Counties, Missouri. The cemeteries of burial are to be found in all three counties, plus a few in others.
- The Schoene Funeral Home Register is a wealth of information but unfortunately is not on the web. If you get a 'hit' here, you will get a LOT of information. This book is found in the county section at the Salt Lake City Family Research Center.
