Simon Jones filed a quit-claim deed to "The Public for two acres of ground located where the Quaker Cemetery is. The property deeded over on Aug 27, 1879 was to be set apart for a "Friends Meeting House and burying grounds."

Location: Go north on Y from Cassville till you come to Merl's Chapel on the west side of the road. The cemetery is about 1/4 mile west of the chapel enclosed in a good chain link fence. The custodian lives in a trailer house just a few yards north of the cemetery. 

One interesting item: The heavy iron eye bolt - one inch diameter steel rod bent into a 4 inch eye and firmly anchored in a concrete block at the east end of the burying ground is the burial site of a Quaker girl.

All the stones in this cemetery were photographed in August of 2007 by Diana Cope.
