location, directions, burial list, panoramas, photo survey link, 1878 & 1902 area plat


Wood Cemetery is on the southern rim of the Salt River flowage, 4mi NW of Shelbina, Misssouri.
The cemetery runs on a NE to SW angle. 
For the 2005 digital survey of the Wood Cemetery, Row 1 is the first row area as the gate is entered,
with Row 10 being the most westward row at the back of the Cemetery. 
The rows were walked from the eastward/left side to the westward/right side.


View from the back, northwestward portion of Wood Cemetery overlooking the Salt River bottoms. 
The road runs north/south and turns back west before the wooded, area,
with the Salt River within the wooded area in the background. 
One of the first major river fords operated by Christian Hunt was not far from the end of the road.

Photo Survey of Wood Cemetery
http://public.fotki.com/iowaz/shelby-co-missouri/

A photo survey taken in April of 2005, was finally edited in Jan 2007.  A 1964 burial listing saved from the Shelbina Library was utilized as the base burial list. Some info was added by email from Kathleen Wilham, Shelby Co, MO Gen Society, Jan 2007.  New data and corrections were then added for the inscriptions, relationships, locations and type of marker found in the 2005 photo survey to produce at this point in time the most complete listing I have available.  The burial listing indicates the row if a marker was located in 2005.  Many markers, apparently found in 1964, are now gone.  New granite markers replaced a few of the older marble markers.  There were a few errors on the 1964 list that have been corrected using the markers located in 2005. Markers were not chalked, the ground was not probed, or the brush was not searched.   Barry Zbornik, Hannibal, MO, iowaz@swbell.net  or  iowaz@hotmail.com   A photo album of the markers and cemetery pans can be found in the Shelby Co, MO folder on my picture hosting site starting Jan 2007  http://public.fotki.com/iowaz/shelby-co-missouri/
