This cemetery is abandoned and desecrated. Headstones from other graves noted in county records are broken off and piled at the edge of the grounds. No one seems to know how or when this happened, as the stones were in place and could be read when the graves were recorded in 1980.

We found the cemetery using the Illustrated Historical Map of Cooper County, Missouri 1877, which shows a cemetery at the location given in the Cooper County Cemetery listing. We superimposed Google Maps and found that the course of the Old Oakland Church Road had changed and now ran directly east/west and just south of the cemetery location.
