Barker Cemetery
Odessa, Lafayette County, Missouri

Submitted by Gloria Barker, Feb 07, 2000 [grbarker@iland.net].  Total records = 148.

Go north on Johnson Drive (gravel road in 1999) from the East Odessa exit off I-70 approximately 4.0 miles to a white farmhouse on the north side of the road. The cemetery is located behind the farmhouse and barns.

The Barker Cemetery is on the top of one of the rolling hills in the area, providing a gorgeous panoramic view of the valley. It is a well-kept site with a chain link fence enclosing it (donated by Cecil & Alice Barker Bandy). There is a metal archway over the gate with the words "Barker Cemetery 1849" on it. The Barker Cemetery Association cares for the cemetery.

Or you can go north 2.5 miles to Barkertown Road, turn E. and go 1.3 miles to Linn Grove Road. At Linn Grove Road turn north again 0.9 miles to Johnson Drive, turn back west and go 0.5 miles to the farmhouse on the north side of the road. This is a longer, more complicated way to get there, but if you happen to be approaching from the other direction you won't get lost.

The following is a listing of the persons buried in the Barker Cemetery as recorded by Roy L. and Gloria Barker on May 14, 1999

Note: Some stones were sandstone and so worn that very little was distinguishable on them.

Additional information from the Ralph O. Jones Funeral Home, Odessa, MO states that Barker, Clarence Edward, 20 Mar 1999 death, was cremated and buried on his parent's grave in the NW corner of the Barker Cemetery, Odessa.
