The Riley P. Cook in the original post was my maternal grandfather's paternal grandfather. He is buried in what was always known to my family and surrounding neighbors as the Farrar Cemetery in Crawford Co., Mo.
This rural area is 12 mi. SE of Steelville, Mo. It lies halfway between former rural post offices of Westover, Mo., and Huzzah, Mo.
To my knowledge the cemetery has never had another name.
The cemetery was long disused by the 1970s, when I last visited it. At that time, I think, the latest gravestones were c. 1910s. To my knowledge the cemetery was not maintained after a c. 1970s Cook family clean-up.
Franklin Ware, owner of the farm on which the cemeterey is located, died in early 2000s. His farm on White River Rd. in Crawford Co. is now owned by his son Lloyd Ware.
Riley P. Cook settled c. 1867 on property adjoining what was then the Farrar (now Ware) farm.
R. P. Cooked moved to Mo. from the Corinth, Miss., area after the Civil War, supposedly following a former officer there.
Before enlistment he lived in or near Corinth, Miss., and before that in or near Chattanooga, Tenn.
He served ~1 year in 1st. Alabama Cavalry U.S. the during Civil War--not in a Confederate unit as reported in the 1980s Crawford Co. genealogy. Cook's service records are in the U.S. National Archives.
Approx. 100 acres of the Cook farm, off Hobo Rd. in Crawford Co., remained in descendents' possession until c. 2000, when the land was sold to strangers by the last male heir.
