I've visited this graveyard before, when I was a kid, and oddly it's only a couple of counties away from Fayette Mo.

There are confederate graves in St Joe
Most of the folks who were living in MO in the early to mid 1800's all came from the south. When the war started MO was one of the craziest, nastiest places you could have imagined to find yourself. One of the reasons a lot of folks in MO did not like the Union was the way they came in and took over, whether you believed in the slave shite (and many did not) the people living in MO did not like the Feds forcing their will on the people. Kinda like what's going on today.
