(From Shannon County, Missouri Cemeteries, Vol. I, published by the Winona Historical & Genealogical Society)
Updated directions: From Van Buren take Hwy. M until it turns into gravel. Turn left on a small gravel road.
There is a small cemetery by the gravel you take. From this point on a 4 wd vehicle is required due to water, and steep terrain.
It is about 5 miles from this point. Follow this road until it splits and turn right. Follow that road and it will spit again.
Turn left at this road. It will come down to a small opening and has a road off to the left. (It is small and rutted bad.
Park and walk from there) Follow that road for about 100 yards or less and it will take you right to the grave yard.

NOTE: In the 1910 census, Warren Bland is found living in the Shannon County census in Bowlin township with his wife Hettie and their 4 children, Moses, Austin,Mamie, and Myrtle. The census lists them as being married 7 years. In 1920, Warren Bland is listed in the Shannon County census in Bowlin Township with his new wife Virgie and children. The census lists him as Woren Bland and he is listed next to Hampton Huff which was his ex-father-in-law, the father of Hettie Huff. Hettie was a sister to Minnie Edgar Huff who married Jesse Carl Duncan, son of Kendrick Carl Duncan or (Carl Kendrick Duncan and Margaret Cruiser/Cruser.
From F.A.G.: Warren Bland supposedly marred Hettie E. (Huff) Bland 12 April 1903. To this union 4 children were born: Moses, Austin, Mamie, and Myrtle. Warren Bland later married Virgie Bland 18 Oct 1917. Myrtle is my great grandmother and I know where she is buried.
