Old Blue Ridge Cemetery

OLD BLUE RIDGE CEMETERY, HARRISON COUNTY, MO

The Old Blue Ridge Cemetery is located in section 11 of Adams Township in the southeast portion of Harrison County. From Bethany, go east on highway 136 for approximately three miles to highway 146 and turn right (south). Follow highway 146 for approximately seven miles, past the village of Blue Ridge, to where the highway curves back to the south. Continue south on 146 for one mile past the curve to the crossroad of 370th Street and turn left (east) on the gravel road. Go east for approximately 1/2 mile to where the gravel ends and turn left (north) into the lane that goes up a gradual hill along the fence. Follow this lane approximately 1/4 mile to the cemetery. The cemetery is marginally maintained and has sustained some damage from vandals. Several stones are down, broken, worn and unreadable. This should not be considered a complete list of burials.

This survey was conducted by Phil & Kathi Stewart on Aug 3, 2004.
