Shunk Grave
Lincoln Township, Section 5
Andrew County, Missouri

Directions: This old grave is located on the property of J. J. Riley (2006) south of Highway 59, at the corner of 59 and State Route H.

Notes: The site cannot be accessed except when accompanied by the owner, and one cannot walk to the site and must cross a creek. Since there is another stone for Isaac Shunk in Fillmore Cemetery, Section 6, it is possible (but not at all certain) that his remains were moved to Fillmore.

Credits: This gravesite was researched and photographed by Nadine Taylor and Betty Halvorsen, 2006, with assistance from Jim and Randy Riley. (c)THE Transcriptions (Taylor, Halvorsen, Eshelman).
