Shawnee Cemetery
Warsaw, Benton County, Missouri, USA
History: The Shawnee Cemetery did not exist before the construction of the Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir at Warsaw, Missouri. As part of the Dam and Reservoir Project, the Corp of Engineers moved cemeteries and private graves located below the projected flood level. Land was purchased in 1965 to establish the Shawnee Cemetery as one of the locations for reinterment of graves being moved. The relocation of graves began in 1966. The Corp placed a flat headstone with the person's name and dates (if known) on reinterred graves that did not have a gravestone.
Graves from a single cemetery were moved to one or more cemeteries. Some or all graves from the following cemeteries were reinterred in the Shawnee Cemetery: Balliette, Cooper/Logan, Cunningham/Dawson, Davenport, Downing, Failer, Fairfield, Graham, Hogles, Jones, Kenny, Kinkead, LP Union/Weaver, McNealy, Monroe, Peal Bend, Stewart, Tomahawk, Wisdom, Wright, Wright Family Cemetery.
