Union Grove Cemetery

Empire Township, Section 17

Andrew County, Missouri

Directions: From Savannah, east on E Highway 3.5 miles.  North on D about 5 miles.  This cemetery is located on the west property line of a private farm and can be accessed only by crossing that property with permission from property owner or by driving on Conservation Department land, which requires a special permit and can only be done in dry weather, as the road is a grass and mud trail with dangerous hills.  (See tombstones by rows.) 

Note: The cemetery was apparently cleaned in 2003 by a Scout troop, but has been neglected since then.
