Drake Family Cemetery
Calhoun, Henry County, Missouri, USA
Deer Creek Township
NE 600 Road, Henry Co MO.
From Rt. 13, turn at Drakes Chapel United Methodist Church sign, cemetery is just past the Church.
(Road deadends at "T" with Drakes Chapel on left, Drakes Chapel Cemetery on right. Old directions for Drake Family Burial Ground are to take the "branch" at Drakes Chapel.)
aka: Drake Family Burial Ground
Private land.
Earliest known burial: 1834, Latest known 1884. There are many ancestors and descendents of David Rose Drake and wife Catherine Burkhardt buried here with no marker or documentation.
The ten visible tombstones were moved to Drakes Chapel Cemetery in 1985. A monument near center front of Drakes Chapel Cemetery marks these 10 stones:
"These monuments for freemen and slaves moved from the David R. Drake Family Cemetery to commemorate Drakes Chapel Sesqui-centenial Oct 13 1985."
There may no longer be evidence of the burial ground or of the name/location of the remains of the individuals buried there. The only "official documentation" for this cemetery appears to be coupled with the ten monuments that were removed to Drakes Chapel Cemetery, altho various family notes have provided additional names. Headstones moved from Drake Family Cemetery to Drake Chapel Cemetery.
