Central City Cemetery is located on Central City Road just
South of 7th St. on the West side of Joplin. It is
very overgrown and I probably missed many of the stones. I also
noticed many unmarked burial sites. Visited on 23 Nov. 2001 by
Renessa Lewis.
I began working at the front gate and worked the North side
working to the back of the cemetery.
