To reach this cemetery from Sedalia MO, travel east on Highway 50 to Route W. South & east on Route W to railroad tracks, then south on Route W 6.2 miles, Turn south onto Lutman Road for 2 miles. Cross Lake Creek Bridge, then travel 1/4 mile to cemetery entrance, on west side of road and up the hill to cemetery.

The first Lake Creek Church & Cemetery was founded in Jan 10, 1845 with land donation from Cord & Gretje Miller: 1/2 acre, $1.00 & other considerations. T44 R20 S13 of Pettis County MO. The Lake Creek Cemetery expanded to 11/2 acres purchased from Cord Miller in 1851. The church moved to T44 R20 S11 of Pettis County MO on Jan 29, 1857 on 40 acres, paid $75.00 to Gerhard Ringen.

Additional information from Book C from Sep 1841 to Sep 1846 - page 570 and also from Book H from 1875 to Jul 1858 - page 207, both recorded at Pettis County MO Recorder of Deeds Office.

Paul Culp and I visited and transcribed from all existing and legible stones and markers in this cemetery in Oct of 2009. I then compared this with the previously mentioned records.
