It had just been cleaned up the day I took the picture.  Very nice little cemetery.  Several graves do not have stones.

This cemetery is located about 5 miles north of Jonesburg,in the southwest quarter (1/4) of the northeast (1/4), section 20, T48N, R3W. Property was once known as the "Wright homeplace"

Dannette's comments:

Samuel and Eliza were married on November 20, 1856 I have a copy of their marriage record.Found at the courthouse in Warrenton.My Lee Family History book written by Ann Smith has a obit in it from the Warrenton Banner, vol XXXIX, no. 25, pg. 1, col.5 from the Missouri State Historical Society in Columbia, MO that says Samuel came to this country in 1836 when 11 years old with his parents and settled in Sullivan County, NY. He came to Warren County in 1855.
