Middlebury Cemetery, Mercer County, MO


This cemetery is located in Mercer County, Washington Township, S11-T63N-R24W; northeast of Spickard close to the Grundy-Mercer county line. The cemetery was recorded in 1965 by Mrs. B. F. Hoover and Mrs. D. Hesler; at that time nothing of the village of Middlebury remains and the little untended cemetery is not used any more.
