Forest Park Cemetery is a very large cemetery that is located on North Rangeline Road and across from Northpark Mall. It covers area from 4th street north for about 3 or 4 blocks. The oldest part of this cemetery is located behind the shopping center at the northeast edge of the cemetery and was once part of a cemetery for the Baptist Church. Old death certificates will refer to this part as "Baptist" cemetery. Forest Park Cemetery is entered from the south side on 4th Street. There is a large green sign at that entrance. This cemetery is maintained by the city of Joplin and is in great shape.

Sign at old entrance on Range Line Road to Forest Park Cemetery in Joplin, Mo. This entrance is no longer used. Some old death certificates from as early as 1911 list Forest Park as the place of burial.
Baptist Cemetery is now a part of Forest Park Cemetery at Joplin and now all of it is called Forest Park. Old death certificates list burials at Baptist Cemetery. Baptist Cemetery is located along the north fence and behind the stores at the northeast corner of Forest Park Cemetery. There are many burials here that are unmarked and no record exists in Forest park records. This picture shows sections 2 and 4 of Forest Park. Section 1 is located north of the road in the far distance and Baptist is part of this section.
There are a few deaths listed in the death certificates as being buried at "Shoal Creek Cemetery." At least one of these is listed in the Forest Park records also. The church was first known as Shoal Creek Baptist Church.
