BELK CEMETERY
Miller County, Missouri
From junctions 42 & 17 in Iberia, go east for 1.5 miles to Rabbit Head Road.
Turn left and go 1.4 miles to Rabbit Head School Road. Turn right and go 1
mile to the end of the road. There you will see a large gate and the cemetery
lies beyond this gate in a field heading to the left. You can see a few stones
from the gate. There is a well-worn route to help find the cemetery. The
cemetery is fenced, but not well tended. It was originally called the Schubert
Cemetery. Joseph Rowden owns the land between the road and the cemetery, in case you have any problems..
Photographed and transcribed by Jane Owens and Johnna Quick.
On the day we went out to visit, 14 Apr 2005, there was the body of a dead
calf in the cemetery, and had been there a really long time. There are tree
limbs down on graves, and the cemetery is in desperate need of a cleanup
and mowing.
