Nicks Cemetery (Pulaski County)

Nicks Cemetery is located in Pulaski County, MO., near the old town of Brownfield. It is on land that is referred to as the Earl Nicks Farm. It is near the Nicks Cemetery in Laclede County.

Nicks Cemetery is a small, family cemetery. In the mid 1980’s, Pulaski County Historical Society reported that it is in bad condition. There are 12 marked graves and approximately 12 unmarked graves. There are no marked graves for the Nicks family, but there are tombstones for members of the Ballard, Black, Enyart, Ivy, Starnes, Sullivan, Thompson, Wood, and Woods families. The earliest dated stone is that Lucy Thompson who died 19 April, 1897 at the age of 33 years. The latest dated stone belongs to Erwine Thompson who passed away 29 April, 1936. There are several stones with no dates, only names. One of these is simply marked Mr. Enyart, Minister. Another stone with no dates is that of Walter Ivy. Mr. Ivy may have been a relative of the Wood family, and it is believed that he was killed by a lightening strike in Illinois.
