Little Shoal
Cemetery
Little Shoal is a small,
historic cemetery near Liberty, Missouri. It is the
burial place of many Kansas City and Clay County
pioneers, who migrated from Kentucky and Tennessee.
In 1997, the county ran out of funds to keep the
cemetery mowed, and the grass grew pretty high.
We are organizing a group of people who want to keep
the cemetery looking nice and preserve its history.
Lots of people have already expressed an interest in
helping.
We invite you to join us!!!
If you are interested in this piece of Clay County
and Missouri History, whether you're nearby or far
away -- please give us your input and ideas. We'd
like to hear from everyone connected to Little Shoal.
Send your mail to: sjhobbs@earlthlink.net.
Below are the surnames on Little Shoal graves. Maybe
you are connected to someone buried there. If you are
connected to early Clay County, chances are you may
be connected to Little Shoal Cemetery.
If you see a connection and can pass along the word
about our project to your cousin and friends, it
would sure be appreciated. It would be great to hear
from each family there.
In addition to preserving ther cemetery itself, we
would like to preserve the histories of the people at
Little Shoal. Do you have family stories you would be
willing to share? Let us know.
Thanks for supporting the Little Shoal project.
