Sunrise Christian Cemetery

Also known as Rising Sun Cemetery, located in Salt River Twp., Audrain Co., Missouri (North of Mexico) Township 52N, Range 9W, Section 35 - SW Corner of NW 1/4 The land for the church was donated by William O. Johnson, husband of my 2nd great grandaunt, Mary Ann Carter Johnson. Very well kept cemetery and active church. If the church is open, do go inside, they have lots of old pictures of families and the area.
