Jackson or Goforth Cemetery
(transcribed by Pat O'Dell: genpat@netins.net)

This cemetery is located at the southwest and northwest corners of sections 19 and 30 in South Grant Township, Nodaway County, Missouri. Just recently I have had correspondence from Sandra Jones (SanSJo@aol.com) and she said that she had always heard it called the Jackson Cemetery. Her kin buried there are the Goforth family. I looked up an obituary for Sallie Goforth and it says she was buried in the Jackson Cemetery (Nodaway Democrat, 24 Oct 1889). I also found the obituary of Susan Roberts Jackson and it says she was buried in the Jackson Cemetery (Nodaway Democrat, 09 Apr 1891).

I copied these stones in April of 1971 and very well may have missed tombstones because of the general poor condition of the cemetery.

If you are going to visit this cemetery, I would recommend that you do it in the coldest months of the year because the vegetation and snakes would be less of a problem at that time.

AN OLD CITIZEN DEAD
    George Lucas, favorably known to many of the citizens of Nodaway county, came to an untimely death on Saturday, January 27th, under the following circumstances: Mr. Lucas had been to Oxford, in Worth county, on that day, and had started to return home on horseback, and had proceeded about a quarter of a mile towards home, where he was found in the road insensible, with the prints of the horse's shoes on his head.  He was found soon after he was thrown, and it is supposed that he fell from his horse in making a turn in the road, and in some manner the horse inflicted the wound that caused his death. He was first taken to the house of Mr. Yates, and then conveyed to his father's house where he died on the Monday following. He was entirely unconsious [sic] during the time.  Mr. Lucas leaves six small children to the care of his father, their mother having died some years since.  He leaves a large circle of friends who mourn his loss, for, with all his exentricities, George Lucas had a host of friends.


   From my family records, George Lucas was the son of Thomas Lucas and Mina Roberts. He was born in Clay co, Ind. His children were: Cynthia Jane (born c1858), Thomas Jefferson (born c1861) lived in Phillips co, Ks, Elmira, Sarah Margaret who married W.H. Swinford, Nannie who married U.S. Wright, and George Lucas of Parnell. I would like to hear from anyone related to this family. genpat@netins.net

 
(5) John O'Howell later married Eliza Stingley Lucas, widow of William Lucas, Feb 21, 1867. I would like to know where they died and are buried? genpat@netins.net
