Mountain Grove Cemeteries - A Brief History

7:16 PM, January 11, 2009 .. Posted in History .. 0 comments .. Link

    The photos above are random shots of the original cemetery.

    An ordained Methodist preacher, the Reverend Smith G. Bundy, a pastor of the local church and a professor at the Mountain Grove Academy, was holding a revival here in 1873. His father from Pennsylvania came to visit his son, became ill and died. The city had no cemetery, so Bundy chose the site of a new City Cemetery and his father was the first to be buried there. It is located across the street from the former Brown Shoe Company factory, also known as Chautauqua Park.

   
Swedish Cemetery
    Across the street and west of the City Cemetery lies the Swedish Cemetery.  
The Swedish settlement was west of Mountain Grove and included a large number
of immigrant families. It's hard to believe in our day and age, but there was
discrimination against these early settlers and they were refused space in the City
Cemetery to bury their dead. A Swede by the name of Peter Ecklund purchased
property across the street and west of the City cemetery and donated it for a
Swedish Cemetery. One of the descendents of those early pioneers was William
Lindholm who became president of AT&T and served on the boards of some of the
largest Corporations in the U.S. He was a driving influence in the United Way
organization and served on the national board for many years. Lindholm graduated
from Mountain Grove High School in 1932 and attendedthe University of Missouri and
Alabama University. He began his career as a lineman for the local electric utility
and even after becoming successful in business he would come back to Mountain
Grove and ask to go out with the line crews, just to keep up with the advances being
made in the industry. In the 1990's William Lindholm and another Swedish
descendent paid to have an archway and sign placed at the entrance to the cemetery.


Hillcrest Cemetery
    By 1895 the town had outgrown the old cemetery and needed a new place to
burytheir dead.  Eight local leaders banded together and formed the Mountain
Grove Cemetery Association, Inc.  Each one signed a note for 1/8th of the cost of
an acre tract of land which became known as Hillcrest Cemetery.  The native
stone and chain fence constructed at the entrance has a history all it's own.  Fred
Leach was able to secure the heavy chains from the dismantling of a chain driven
elevator at a building in St. Louis.  Tom Smart, a local stone mason, designed the
entrance and built the stone pillars from which the chains hang.  It is an
impressive entry way and on special commemorative holidays like the Fourth of
July and Veterans Day the flags placed on each side of the driveway and the
smaller flags that decorate the graves are enough to swell the heart and bring
tears to the eyes of the observer.


   

General Robinett
Brig General Paul Robinett, the only General from Wright County Missouri, is buried 
at Hillcrest Cemetery.

Civil War Monument on Mtn Grove Square

6:03 PM, January 3, 2009 .. 1 comments .. Link

    There were two survivors of the Civil War living when they put up the monument.  Both of them lived to be 100 years old and I think both are buried in the old City Cemetery.  There was a birthday celebration for "Dad" Steger and Harry Truman came to Mountain Grove to speak.  The Union Soldier's name was Clouse and I used to have a copy of his obituary.  Someone told me that when they were getting ready to put up the monument, there was some heated argument between the two old veterans about which way it would face, north or south.  Finally Clouse said "Hell, let it face south.  Everytime I saw a Rebel SOB, that was the direction he was running."
