Spring Branch Cemetery Transcription
SPRING BRANCH CEMETERY
Avery, Benton County, Missouri
For more Benton County research and resources, please check
out our Benton County page.
Photographed and transcribed by Jane Owens and Johnna Quick in
November 2004. Cemetery is beside Spring Branch Church of the
Brethren. There are well over a hundred graves marked with
“Unknown,” probably most from the relocation of cemeteries due
to the building of the lake.

my Cemetery List page.
