Monett's Historical Information Some people think the IOOF cemetery is in Barry County but it is actually in Lawrence County. The county line splits Monett at Cleveland Street which runs east and west. South of Cleveland Street is Barry Co. and North of Cleveland is Lawrence County. The cemetery is located North of Cleveland Street in Monett on Hwy 37, beside the KRMO radio station. The community of Forest
Park was in Lawrence County until it was annexed to the City of Monett in
1934. Although it has grown since then, this is essentially the part of City
of Monett that is now in Lawrence County and so until 1934 no part of the
City of Monett was in Lawrence County. Anyone living in the City of Monett
would have been on the Barry County Census for all the census years up
through 1930. Oakdale, Cox and IOOF are all in Lawrence County - but the residents are almost all Barry County folks. IOOF is a large cemetery, nicely kept and there are over 5,400 residents buried here, most of which once lived and died in Barry County, MO. During the days that the railroad was Monett's main source of income it was a thriving place, diversified with many genetic backgrounds. Residents, many who worked for the railroad, not only came from nearly every state in the union, but were also born in these foreign countries: Italy, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, England, Wales, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Russia, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland, Hungry, Poland, South America, Mexico and Canada.
