Photo by Pulaski County Obits, October 2, 2009 Fox Crossing Cemetery is located in Pulaski County, MO., on Highway 133, near Dixon, Missouri. According to Tombstone Inscriptions of Pulaski County it is named for the Fox family and the railroad crossing.
This cemetery is the final resting place for several veterans, Civil War, World War I, and World War II all represented. The earliest dated stones are from 1889. Fox Crossing Cemetery sheds light on the families who settled this area, worked the land, worked the railroad, some who passed just a mile or so from where they were born. The graveyard also marks the passage of an itinerant horse trading family, by the name of Jackson, who buried an infant daughter, just 17 days old after she died 28 November, 1933. This must have been especially heartbreaking for the parents, Leroy Jackson and Cora Milford Jackson, both from Illinois.
