Wood Cemetery

also known as Benny Wood Cemetery

Platte Township, Section 25 West

Andrew County, Missouri

Directions: From Whitesville on State Highway 48 east 1.8 miles to intersection with County Road 202.  Cemetery is in a cultivated field with State Hwy 48 on the north and CR 202 on the west.  If crops are growing, it can't be seen from the road because all that now exists of it is a small patch that hasn't been plowed under, with no standing stones.  Can be seen better from Highway 48 than from 202.
