JOHN FRANKLIN 'BUD' WOOD CEMETERY

a/k/a Old Uncle Bud Cemetery

East of Eminence on Current River - Shannon Co MO

There are not many graves there.

This is a cemetery that is on private property.
John Franklin 'Bud' Wood who was the son of Freeman

Wood (Freeman is buried in Luther William Cemetery) married Mary Elizabeth 'Beth' Wood who was the daughter

of Joseph Vardie Wood (Joseph is buried in Luther Williams Cemetery).
Bud and Beth had their own cemetery on their Current River farm.
It is up behind the house and barn on a high hill overlooking the river.
After the ONSR took over the land they either tore down or burned the houses.

Go off the ridge road that goes to Luther Williams Cemetery and turn right and go to the Bud Wood farm.
