Adams Cemetery
Bonne Terre, Saint Francois County, Missouri

T38N R4E Sec 25
Lat: 37°58'25"N, Lon: 90°32'37"W

Contributed by Valerie Holifield, Jul 28, 2001, last updated Mar 11, 2002 [theholifields@sbcglobal.net]. Total records = 217.

Is located just west of the outer road of Hwy 61 (about 3 miles north of Bonne Terre) on a dirt road that dead ends at the cemetery. The only sign of the road says "Adam's Cemetery."

I have walked and read all the stones in this cemetery in 2001. You can tell by how the ground lays that there is a section of unmarked graves, but this contains all the stones except for maybe one or two that were completely unreadable.

There are a few notes of mine that I have entered for additional info, they should be denoted with a ** before them, in addition to the readings.

I assume they are taking only new burials that already own a plot. There are several records that do not have a death date and are possibly still alive. There is not much room left, so they probably will not be selling any new plots.

In memory of David Adams the first person buried in this cemetery. Date of birth unknown. Death in the 1850's.
