Daily Cemetery

Daily Cemetery
Rochester Township, Section 6
Andrew County, Missouri

Directions: From Savannah US Business 71, east on State Route E, 3.5 miles to SR D, north on SR D 0.8 mile to County Road 185, north on CR 185 0.9 mile. Cemetery is on the east side of road, but cannot be seen from the road. There is a large white sign “Daily Cemetery” at the entrance road, which is a mowed track in the grass. Do not attempt to drive the grass track if it has been rainy as the ground will be muddy and slick and the track goes quite sharply uphill for 0.1 mile.

Notes: A large number of markers at Daily have been removed from their original locations and have been lined up, lying flat, in one area.

Credits: This cemetery was researched and photographed by Nadine Taylor and Betty Halvorsen, 2005, 2008 and 2010. (c)THE Transcriptions (Taylor, Halvorsen, Eshelman).
