Update 2:
Cain Cemetery
Reclaimation Project began 8 July 2003. More
than 800 hours have been spent in cleaning,
clearing and resetting fallen stones. Project
leader is Mandi Brown, 303 Park Avenue,
Maryville, Mo 64460. Phone : 660-582-5025 Email:
brownmandi0911@yahoo.com Donations badly needed.
Family members of Cain interred please contact.
Update 3:
As of 20 Mar 2004
more then 1200 hours have been expended on this
reclaimation project. An area of 30 feet by 170
feet remains to be cleared of debris. Many
stones have been cleaned, repaired and placed
back in position. Project leader Mandi Brown has
arranged with local volunteers to continue the
clean-up efforts. One item of interest is the
new gate sign. It will proudly display the name
carved in a pine tree. All research has
indicated that this will be the only cemetery in
Northwest Missouri that has a name carved from
wood grown at the site. Anticipated rededication
to be Memorial Day 2004. Will advise if changed.
All interested parties should contact Project
Manager, Mandi Brown by email or phone:
