Johnson Cemetery, Grundy County, MO


Also known as Newton-McCray Family Cemetery



This cemetery is located in Franklin Township; S20-T63N-R24W. Would never be seen from road, back in pasture about 1/4 mile west of road. However, cemetery is tended, well fenced, and stones in good condition. One tall cedar tree grows in center of cemetery; several hickory and other shade trees make a lovely rural setting with view of the "Green Hills" of North Missouri. Recorded in 1964 by Mrs. O. L. Livingston and Mrs. B. F. Hoover.
