HOUSES CREEK CEMETERY

Located in Section 9 Twp 27 R1W. From Van Buren, Mo go west on Hwy 60 one mile to M Hwy - turn right and go 4.4 miles to the cemetery on the left across the road from the Chruch of God Prophecy. It is well kept, fenced with a white iron arch and gate— a memorial to "Bob Bowman."" This cemetery has several unmarked graves. (Copied 1981) Revised 1996. Re-revised 1998 by Daisy Andersen and typed by Julie Huggins Feb. 1999. Note from Julie Huggins: Any notes we have that say "McSpadden Funeral Home," means that my mother got the actual funeral home records and we matched them with the deceased names. We thought that any extra information we could give would be appreciated.
