Dice Cemetery
Adams Township
Township 58, Range 30, Section 12
DeKalb County, Missouri
North of Cameron on 69 Highway, north on EE Highway. Cemetery is in a fenced area on private land east of EE Highway.
This cemetery is on private property. On purchase of the place, the current owners (as of October 2011) found the tombstones stacked near the garage. With help from local residents who grew up in the area, and old photographs, they attempted to re-establish the site. It is now fenced and well maintained, though the markers may not be in the original locations.
This cemetery was founded in the 1840s and discontinued shortly after the Civil War. There are approximately twenty graves, mostly infants of related families: Dice, Ward and Stewart.
Kelly and Kris took the photos of this cemetery.
