Tonda,
Carrie and my grandfather Arthur were brother and sister. I have tons of Clevenger line information back to the 1600's. I would like more information concerning Carrie's children and husbands. I actually met Aunt Carrie as a child while visiting Wela Park, Missouri in 1963.

Hunter Finds Abandoned 19th Century Cemetery
Near Missouri City, MO - A squirrel hunter roaming the woods of the Cooley Lake Conservation Area in southeastern Clay County stumbled upon nearly two dozen ancient gravestones. The weathered grave markers -- which date back to the mid-to-late 1800's -- are almost completely hidden by overgrown brush. Many of them are toppled, broken or simply leaning against trees, where state conservation agents have placed them, unsure of where they belong.
"I have no family members up here," said Romie Whittle, the hunter who found the abandoned cemetery. "But, it just breaks my heart everytime I think about this place."
Whittle called Fox 4 Problem Solvers, hoping to find others who want to help him restore the site. We first visited the Clay County Archives, where historians found records that show the cemetery near Cooley Lake is known as the "Elitzer-Elliott Cemetery," located on the old Dillon farm. Cemetery committeeman Kenneth Neth says he recorded the site several years ago as part of a project to document all of Clay County's cemeteries.
That project has now documented 300 cemeteries in the county, many of them ancient, family cemeteries like Elitzer-Elliott. Many of them are also abandoned.
There is no state or local fund set up to restore abandoned cemeteries, but Neth says boy scout troops have taken on similar projects in the past. Romie Whittle will take all the help he can get, both to clean up the cemetery and to maintain it in the coming years.
