McIntosh (wife of mcint4001) Princeton Cemetery The Princeton Cemetery is located on Highway 65 in the northern edge of the city of Princeton and is the main cemetery for the city. The cemetery dates to the late 1840s, and MANY of the stones are worn, broken and/or down and can no longer be read. This survey should not be considered a complete listing of those buried there. Older lists and surveys that will contain additional names and information are available at the Mercer County Library in Princeton. Due to its size, the Princeton Cemetery is being surveyed in sections. This section is the "older" portion of the northern end of the cemetery and was surveyed by Phil and Kathi Stewart on February 22, 2004. Salem Cemetery Salem Cemetery is located three miles east and one mile north of Mill Grove, Missouri. It is one of the oldest organized cemeteries in the area, with stones dating back to the 1840s. The years have taken a toll on the older (eastern) section of the cemetery, where numberous stones are down, broken and unreadable. Therefore, this should not be considered a complete list of burials. This survey was conducted by Phil & Kathi Stewart on March 12, 2003. Some who are buried here: Vanderford, Eli M. (4070) Vanderford, Mary Ellen (wife of 4070) Vanderford, James (son of 4070) Vanderford, Creed D. (5118) Vanderford, Ethel A. (wife 5118) Vanderford, Ray (son of 5118) Bethene Curtis (wife of curtis3001) Sampson D. Curtis (curtis3001)
