MOUNT PLEASANT CEMETERY
THE KING BURYING GROUND

Section 17, Township 47, Range 33 W

Near 130th Street, between Holmes Street and Wornall Road, on the old King Farm, is located this community burying ground. Mr. Urial Holmes, who came to Missouri from Tennessee with his parents in 1853, relates the fact that this site had been used for burials many years prior to the time his parents came to Missouri. About 1878 Mr. Holmes and Dr. J. E. Watson platted the ground into lots and named this community burying ground, "Mount Pleasant Cemetery."
