According to Carrol Geerling and Lucille Wittenborn Wiechens, who wrote the five-volume Cemeteries of St. Charles County, Missouri (1988), the cemetery contains the oldest known surviving grave marker in the St. Charles County, dating to 1817. Prior to 1817, graves in the area were marked with wooden crosses, which have not survived.
The cemetery is near the Daniel Boone Hays Home, 3572 Stub Rd., Hwy. F Defiance, MO 63341. The Hays Home has recently been restored and opened for public tours. The home and cemetery are both within Matson Hill Park, a St Charles County park which is open to the public.
The cemetery is in a wooded area 450 feet west of Stub Road and 850 northwest of the Hays Home. The cemetery is marked with signage and fencing; parks staff can help with locating it if you have difficulty.
