Mitchell Cemetery is located in Pulaski County, MO., in the town of Waynesville, Missouri, at the intersection of Main and Elm Streets.

Mitchell Cemetery is the oldest graveyard in the city limits of Waynesville. However, the oldest dated tombstone is dated 1857, 24 years after the city was established in 1833. The stone belongs to Perter Y.A. Vaughan, wife of B.W., who died 4 March, 1857.

Alfie E. Colley died aboard U.S. Army Transport Logan 19 June, 1901. He was a member of the 38th Infantry and was returning from the Phillipine Islands. Alfie was also a member of the Woodmen of the World. Vanderver B. Hill, a Pulaski County Pioneer with a colorful life story is buried in Mitchell Cemetery. He passed September 27, 1912. A simple marker, towards the back of the cemetery simply states Willie, Age 11 years.
