Where Route N, the old Boone’s Lick Road make a right turn, going from west to north, is St. John’s United Church of Christ Cemetery in Cottleville.
The church was founded in 1866, and sat at the intersection for over a hundred years until it moved to a new location in 1980. The site of the old church is now a fire station.
Many famous St. Charles County settler families are buried in the cemetery.
The new location of the church is on Highway 94 at the southwest corner with Wolfrum Road.
It’s a miracle that this “specific” cemetery site “wasn’t” given the “stone-cutters-ax” many “decades” long ago, especially when it came towards those “years” when AT&T “Dallas” was the “Saint Louie HeadQuartered, Southwestern Bell division of Ma-Bell,” at least the towns of “Union” et “Labadie” are in some “pretty good hands” 🙂
