 Maddy Cemetery
Barry County, Missouri


 SE Sec. 24, T24N, R28W -  364912N 0935780W

 

Located about 3 miles west of Purdy, MO. Take Hwy B west  from Purdy and turn north on FR1065.  The cemetery will be on the left.

The "old timers" tell the story of how a tornado took out some of the stones at Maddy and that is why so many of the graves are unmarked. A lot of the stones are missing or there are a lot of unmarked graves; however, the cemetery is in pretty good shape considering how old it is.

 

John and Margaret Maddy owned the land that this cemetery is situated on and they are buried here toward the back of the cemetery along with another Maddy family member.
