The Rueben Long Family Cemetery is not easily accessible as it is on PRIVATE PROPERTY from ALL SIDES.

It can't be seen on satellite imaging but the approximate area can be narrowed down. It would be quite a hike in the Missouri humidity and heat to get there IF one can get permission. As far as I know as of 2011, Missouri law allows access to pioneer family cemeteries on private land as long as one can prove the relationship. They still greatly encourage one to have the property owner's permission to keep everything amicable.

When searching and/or researching these old pioneer cemeteries that are now on private land, please be extremely cautious and use common sense. Many folks in Missouri, especially out on isolated farms, guard their property by all means, including firearms.

❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈

Know the local history of the area and the family local history. Talk to folks at the local library and historical society before you go out on your own. Take precautions like a medical kit and plenty of water. Watch out for ticks, spiders and snakes. If possible, never go alone and let people know where you're going.

If you can't get the owner's permission to search for a family cemetery on their property, then let it go. That's what I had to do with this family cemetery even though we are related.
