On the south side of Rt. E between Newark and Knox City MO. In the NE quarter of the SW quarter of section 10. In the Knox County records as very small in size. Obvious from bases in the ground that the graves were north to south rather than west to east as is more traditional.
West of Sever Lake Conservation Area. In a clump of trees in a grain field. The cedar trees are no longer standing. The field is now devoted to grain farming, not fenced for wintering cattle in a corn stalk field. Cattle in the past did major damage. Site of Civil War grave of young Robert P. Elston KIA in the Battle of Centralia September 1864 against a deadly Confederate guerilla force. This grave is marked by a family tombstone and also a federal tombstone. LEE
