The Elias Chambers Burial Ground is situated under a few cedar trees in the middle of a farm field. The area was most likely owned by Elias Chambers, who can be found living near Elston in the 1880 census (age 54) of Cole County with his wife, Susan Catherine (52 and born in Tennessee). The census also lists the following children: George William, L. Monroe, Sallie Jenna, Rebecca Isabel, and Elias Theodore.
Only one tombstone is upright. There are what appears to be pieces of other broken tombstones lying about the same location, but nothing with identifiable engraving. |
