About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

...The Burkett-Humphries Cemetery is located South of Poplar Bluff, Missouri on the East side of Highway 142 (Pike Slough Road) one half mile South of the intersection with Highway 158 (Harviell Road). It was established on the farm of Reuben Isaac "Ike" Fletcher Humphries and his wife Mary Annis "Mollie" (Burkett) Humphries prior to 1892. Mollie's mother, father and two brothers are among the burials. One of Ike's older brothers is also here.

... There are five known burials with a very high probability of four infants and a possibility of two more adults. Possible total burials could be eleven. The first known burial occurred in 1892 and the last in 1902. The Cemetery is now just a small grove of trees. The grave marker stones were apparently pushed over and covered many years ago. Two have been recently discovered (2017).

...The owners, who acquired the property in 1979 and have protected the cemetery, still mow the grass every so often. ...We thank you and God bless you.
