Son of Margaret Emison & Mathew Barkley

From the New London Chamber of Commerce, History of Ralls county and New London, MO (date unknown)

In 1833 the founder of New London died during the dreaded cholera epidemic. He was buried in the old cemetery in what is now block 25. However, in 1840 the officers of New London declared it illegal to bury bodies in that block, and the cemetery was moved north one block to land owned by Mr. Matthew Thomas Barkley.
