Cemetery notes and/or description:
This cemetery is the original burial ground for the Francis Montgomery, Sr. family in Adair County. It was originally enclosed by a split rail fence that has long since deteriorated. Many slaves were said to have been buried immediately outside of the cemetery. All of the stones are rough fieldstones or slate, most of which have no markings left. Many have sank into the ground or been broken by cattle and timber. There are about eight rows of graves.

To reach the cemetery from Columbia, follow Hwy 80 east towards Russell Springs for about 5 miles and turn right on Reeves Road. About three quarters of the way down Reeves Road, directly across from Ozark Trail which is on the left, there is an unmarked path that goes out into a field on the right. About a hundred yards down the unmarked path, there is a large tree on the left and a small fenced cemetery on the right. Go left (southwest) through the field towards the large tree and past it, and cross the fence behind it. After crossing the fence, walk approximately 25 yards southwest into the trees to reach the cemetery. It is on the property of Bruce Wilson. The exact location is marked on the map below. The landmarks described can be seen on the hybrid view of the map.
