Written and verbal directions can be confusing, so it is highly recommended to obtain maps. These are available for free on the internet and can display, for very specific locations, an overall map showing location in relation to major roads and landmarks and zoomed in to show details of roads within a cemetery. See Aerial photos and maps .
If attempting to locate a Pike County Cemetery from the written descriptions here or elsewhere, it is almost essential to have a County map.
The Ingram Cemetery is on the border of Lincoln and Pike Counties, just inside Pike County. Just down the road is Montgomery County. It is not shown in GBNF (Lincoln County Cemeteries) but is transcribed in Cemetery Inscriptions Pike County, Missouri; Volume III - Hartford Township; Pike County Chapter DAR; Louisiana, Missouri; 1985. It is located on a private farm and is just visible from the road through a field, but directly walking to it through the field would be difficult. I have contact information offline, but last I heard (about 2002 or 2003), the owner of the farm was in poor health. As of July, 2000 the surrounding farm was owned by the Thompson's. Some restoration work had been done by a descendant.
Ingram Cemetery is located in Pike County, Mo., one mile north of the intersection of roads O & PP (New Liberty Church), behind the barn in back of the old house on the Brandenburg Dairy Farm. There is a story that has been handed down through the owners of the dairy farm of a young girl that died of rabies who is buried in the cemetery. It was copied in November, 1975 by Mr. & Mrs. Floyd Stamps and Mr. & Mrs. Don Lotton. After cutting the brambles, etc. in the cemetery, most of the stones had to be dug up. The cemetery is in Hartford Township, East part, T51N-R3W, in Section 56 [sic]. [The Pike Co. Map shows NO Section 56; sections only go up to 36. Pike Co. GenWeb page says Section 36.]"

Following is the complete transcription of the Thomas Hudson Cemetery. All individuals have been identified and resolved. One apparent error concerns:
Bathsheba M. Wilson, nee Ingram, b. Jan 19, 1854-d. Feb.
24, 1917.
Substantial evidence including Illinois Death Certificate Index entry
1917-02-24
shows that the "nee Ingram" is not correct, that Bathsheba M. Wilson
was
an unmarried daughter of Quinton M. Wilson (1818-1897) and
Louia J. Hudson (1829-1873).
Further, the birth date should be January 19, 1853 based on 1900 census
and comparison to birthdate of brother Thomas H. Wilson (1854-1880).
She died in Granite City, Madison County, Illinois.
This cemetery is located about a mile west of New Liberty Church
on Hy. O, the dividing line between Lincoln and Pike Counties in Mo.
It is located in Section 35, Hartford Township, T.51N.-R.3W., in a val-
ley about a mile from the road on the presently-owned O'Neil Parsons
farm. These inscriptions are a combination of those inscribed by Mr.
& Mrs. Floyd Stamps and Mr. & Mrs. Donald Lotton in 1975 and those
inscribed by Opal Ware.

You can buy tombstone for Thos. Hudson & Mary Ann Hudson and pay for
them out of the estate & if you cannot get an order from probate court
to pay for them, we will each of us pay our part for them. Also, get
a stone for Lucinda, Hiram Weatherford, W.B. Hudson, Chas. W. Hudson,
Slade Hudson, Isaac Y. Hudson, Mr. W. Green, if you get an order from

I had come across numerous statements of the "Clarksville Cemetery," "Clarksville City Cemetery" or just burial at "Clarksville" in obituaries, death certificates, etc. but couldn't find that name on any published lists. I eventually found out that the official name is Greenwood Cemetery, at least for contemporary (2006) usage. This name is used in published sources such as the Pike County Missouri history and genealogy website, sign at entrance, GNIS, etc. All specific burial references I had found to a "Clarksville Cemetery" or "Clarksville City Cemetery" have been traced to the transcriptions of Greenwood Cemetery. I do not know if the Greenwood name existed historically or if there was a name change at some point. The earliest written citation to "Greenwood" Cemetery that I have seen is a Missouri Death Certificate from 1956. (A 1953 death certificate still used "Clarksville Cemetery.")
A 1956 death certificate listed the burial as "Riverside" Cemetery in Clarksville Missouri, the only use of that name I have seen so far (not "Riverview" in town of Louisiana, MO.) I do not know if "Riverside" was simply an error or if it was actually ever used as a name for this cemetery. The burial did trace back to Greenwood.
Ownership and maintenance of the Greenwood Cemetery is under the jurisdiction of the City of Clarksville, Missouri.

"This cemetery is located on the Bryant Mackey farm (T.53N.-R.1.2E Survey 1702) about 3 miles south of Clarksville, 1 mile west of Highway W and 1 mile north of Highway WW. It is east of the Clopton High School. The stones have been moved from their original location and stacked in a fence row. All of the stones are broken, many of them have weathered so badly that they are illegible, and they are stacked one on top of the other alongside the fence. The inscriptions that follow were recorded by Marjorie Clifford, Rosemary Brown and William L. Brown Jr. and some of them may be incorrect because of the condition of the stones."

Information about this family also in: Family records of Barnes, Brown, Lair, and Wilson, with references to Crays, Fee, Sherrill, Stark, and Thornton; Clair and Mildred Barnes; 1963. In November 2014 I was able to access an online version of this publication. It has about 68 pages which are not consecutively numbered. It has been cataloged and digitally scanned by the LDS Family History Library and posted at their website FamilySearch.org However, that digital online copy is only accessible at their main library, distributed Family History Centers and a handful of major "partner" libraries. I was able to access a copy by searching the title through WorldCat one of which entry links to Family records of Barnes, Brown ... @ hathitrust.org Access through this link appears to work directly, connectivity through a local public library subscription apparently not required. Note that the right-side scroll bar does not appear to work to display and navigate through the pages. It is necessary to use the forward and backward arrows. Also, it appears the original document is single-sided, so two or sometimes three clicks on the forward arrow are needed to navigate to the next page.
James Brown, born in Maryland, married Miss Jane Congleton in Maryland. They moved to Bourbon Co.,Ky., and came to Pike Co., Mo. in 1827, living the first winter near Frankfort, and then settling on Ramsey Creek. They were buried on the old Parson Brown farm. They had seven children. [Continues with list.]On a pedigree chart (page 10f) it gives birth as June 1790 in Maryland (clearly not possible) and death November 1829. The gravestone transcription is most likely correct.

Col. 3.Visits Graves of Cholera Victims
Mrs. Annie Wilkinson, here from Alhambra, Calif., visiting relatives and friends, accompanied by Mr. & Mrs. W.H.Parker and Mrs. Ada Davis, drove to a private burying ground on the Mackey farm, near Clarksville, Sunday and visited for the first time the graves of Mrs. Wilkinson's mother, Mrs. Eunice Jefferies and Mrs. Davis' father, William Brown. Both died sixty years ago this month during a cholera epidemic. Mrs. Jefferies, who resided on what is known as the Jefferies farm, now owned by Floyd Galloway, about two miles northwest of town, was summoned to the Clarksville vicinity to aid in caring for a relative seized with cholera. The relative died, and shortly thereafter Mrs. Jefferies was stricken and lived but a short time. Mr. Jefferies and Mrs. Wilkinson, then a child of five years, had mild attacks of the dreaded disease, but recovered.
The disease proved fatal to Mr. Brown about the same time. The law required bodies of cholera victims to be buried in the nearest accessible cemeteries to avoid the possibility of a spread of the disease, and for that reason both bodies were buried in the private cemetery on this farm, in the community which they died, and were never disinterred and moved to other cemeteries.
