The Giersa cemetery is on private property.
I recently found out that in 1980 a contractor want the land the Johnson / McCallister Cemetery in Washington, Franklin Co., MO. was located. They put a notice in the Local paper - most of the relatives have moved from that area.
If it hadn't been for Samuel Caldwell driving by and seeing the bulldozer turning over the tombstones many of my ancestors -uncles -aunts -cousins would have been gone.
Samuel had the caskets and what was left of the tombstones removed to his land.
Kincaid Caldwell was one of those buried at this cemetery. The first white settler in Franklin County, MO.. Many older cemeteries have met the same fate.
