This is the NEW Salem Cemetery that is immediately behind and up a small incline from the church. This cemetery is fully enclosed by a fence with barbed wire all around it. There is easy access to it by driving into the church lot and back to the cemetery. It appears chained and locked, but the d-shaped clasp easily opens for access and is probably used more to keep both gates from swinging open in a storm. This cemetery is well-maintained by the active church body at New Salem Church. It is a lovely cemetery that possibly has records inside the church building, but the church is not occupied except during worship services. I wrote to the church with a cemetery question and had no response, so I suggest to go there if you can. Most of the stones are upright and legible. Some are upright, weathered and simply cannot be read. It is a peaceful place with very little shade & surrounded on one side with lovely flowers. There is a full listing of ALL that are buried here in the Gasconade County Cemetery Survey Book published in 1985 and sold by the Gasconade County Historical Society.
