Barnes Dalton Light Cemetery
Oakland, Laclede County, Missouri, USA
This was a very early cemetery in the Oakland area of Laclede County. At least some of the burials were supposedly moved to the Antioch Baptist Church cemetery (aka "Oakland Cemetery") when it was started, but several stones remained at the Barnes Dalton Light cemetery in the 1970s.
The cemetery is on private property and has not been preserved. After years of use as a cow pasture, the area was overgrown and the stones were broken and buried. More recently, many of the large trees at the cemetery were uprooted by a tornado, making it even more difficult to locate broken stones.
