Nelson Wood Cemetery

Nelson Wood Cemetery in southern Pulaski County, Missouri

Nelson Wood Cemetery is located in Pulaski County, MO., “near the Ross Bridge on the Big Piney River.”.

Nelson Wood Cemetery is a small, family cemetery. All burials here are members of the Wood family, with the exception of George A. Raney, daughter of J.J. and M.A., who died shortly after her fourth birthday in 1881. Sam Wood is also buried here. Sam was “murdered on the river on the Prewitt Farm.”. The Prewitt farm was later known as the McDonald farm. There is also a rock that has the initials B.M. and the year 1889 scratched into it.

Nelson Wood Cemetery has recently been added to the list of cemeteries that are being cleaned up, restored, and preserved by Project Preservation.
