Bradford Cemetery is located in Pulaski County, MO., south of Waynesville, Missouri, 1 mile from Interstate 44 on H Highway. It is located on the right hand side of the road as you head towards the Waggener Gate on the west side of Fort Leonard Wood. It is believed that the earliest stone dates to 1864, belonging to Joseph J. Hobbs. According to Tombstone Inscriptions of Pulaski County there are at least 32 unmarked graves, one marked by an illegible metal marker, and a broken stone with only the name Earl still intact. To help differentiate the two Bradford Cemeteries, in the late 1800's and early 1900's, this Bradford Cemetery was called the William Bradford Cemetery. The Bradford Cemetery that is on land that is now part of Fort Leonard Wood was called the James Bradford Cemetery.
