On page 59 of the Recordings of Burris Fork, Harrison and Pilot Grove Township Cemeteries published by the Moniteau County Historical Society, it states:
Inscriptions were taken November 15, 1970 by Mr and Mrs Francis Ketterlin and Mr and Mrs Preston Hutchison. We left the car in a lane leading to a farmhouse. We started to climb the cedar hill where an old wooden wagon had been left by the side of the lane, so many years ago that cedars grew up in it. At the top of the hill we found a well fenced cemetery with a steel fence and gate. Ten graves inside the fenced cemetery and two graves outside the fence, on the south. It looked as if it once had a barbed wire fence around the two outside stones.

In March 2006, the cemetery appeared much the way described above, however, the wagon was not seen. The same graves were inside the fence with two graves just outside the fence, to the right in the pictures. James Albin and Alan Sparks visited this cemetery on March 10, 2006 when Alan took the pictures.

Directions to cemetery: From California, take Hwy 50 East to its intersection with Rt K. Turn right (south) and travel on Rt K until coming to its intersection with Surprise Rd. Turn right (south, again) and travel until coming to its intersection with Bottom Rd. Turn left (east) on Bottom Rd and travel until coming to a private lane. When getting to the private lane leading to the cemetery, there is a Van Pool Cemetery sign, as pictured, at far left, above. Go up the hill and just before reaching the cattle guard, there is a "lane" or "path" leading to the right from the lane at an angle (approximately 130 degree angle if using the lane as the base). The cemetery is approximately 25 - 35 yards into the woods at the end of this "path."
