Wood Cemetery
AKA Benny Wood Cemetery
Platte Township, Section 25 West
Andrew County, Missouri
Directions: From Whitesville on State Highway 48 east 1.8 miles to intersection with County Road 202. Cemetery is in a cultivated field with State Hwy 48 on the north and CR 202 on the west.
Notes: If crops are growing, it can’t be seen from the road because all that now exists of it is a small patch that hasn’t been plowed under, with no standing stones. Can be seen better from Highway 48 than from 202.
