From the book "The Story of Our Garner Family" he is buried at Mt. Carmel Cemetery Andrew Co. MO. Find a Grave volunteer reports: checked county inventory and there is no grave listed for this person in Andrew County, Missouri

From Monica Eshelman: Pleasant Garner (c1830-1883) was buried at Nodaway, but whether it was the Nodaway town cemetery or another, I don't know. The Nodaway cemetery is a mess, very overgrown and damaged by time, so he might have had a marker there that is gone now. [KS-Nodaway Baptist cemetery in Lincoln twp is very close to Pleasant's farm; assume this is correct cemetery.]
