Forest Hill

 Forest Hill Cemetery is located at 71st and Troost.  Established in 1888, the land is notable for the location of another Civil War Battle Field as the Confederate troops fled south from Westport.



                                              Hyperblogal has family here in several locations.


















 Many famous Kansas City residents  are buried here including Satchel Paige, below.

An Elmwood Fall


Elmwood Cemetery is 147 years old.  It has 34,440 burials and is nicely kept.  Mayors, Madams and                  an Abraham Lincoln "girlfriend" reside here.  It's lovely in the Fall...
