Rocky Branch Cemetery
Oran, Scott County, Missouri, USA
The condition of the cemetery can be judged by the photographs but is much worse than they can tell. A group needs to take on the project of cleaning it up and finding other markers that were hidden by undergrowth or covered with leaves and branches.
A total of 42 graves were mentioned in one document as being there and we only found markers for half that.
Scott Co. death records are also misleading. Persons dying in the 1880's were in some cases mentioned as being interred in Norman's cemetery which now seems to be another name for Rocky Branch. The record for Jasper M. Moran states Norman's but his was the first marker found at Rocky Branch.
