New Business
a. Demolition Clearance Application for 514 Broadway St.
Sheri Johnston presented the staff report on the Broadway property constructed in
1910 and located within an area known as Old Munichburg. Per the application, the
property owner has indicated that everything that can be salvaged will be salvaged.
Walter Schroeder spoke on the demolition request by providing some very interesting
history regarding the original stone wall on the Broadway property and other similar
stone walls constructed in Jefferson City in that general area of town, during that early
1900s time frame. He said he would be pleased if the stone wall could be salvaged , and
left standing.
Donna Deetz asked what the intentions and plans are for the area after demolition.
Mike Prenger said it will be a side yard. Doug Record asked about salvaging the items
inside the property, such as the stair rail. Mike Prenger stated the stair rail may be
salvageable. However, he is not aware of anything remaining inside the property that is
worth saving and he said the doors are not the original doors.
Donna Deetz moved to approve the Demolition Clearance Request with the condition
that the retaining wall is saved on the property. Bill Case seconded the motion. Motion
passed unanimously.

STAFF REPORT
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION – CITY OF JEFFERSON, MISSOURI
April 10, 2018
NATURE OF REQUEST
The purpose of the request is to demolish a city owned residential structure located at 408 Lafayette St that has been vacant since
2009. The property is located within a 100 year floodplain. The city owns multiple properties in the area that were voluntarily
acquired. After demolition is completed, the property will be deeded to green space in accordance to the Robert T. Stafford Act.
According to MidMOGIS the property was constructed in approximately 1900, therefore the age of structure appears to be over 100
years old. In accordance with Section 8-47(A)(1)(a) the property was posted with a public hearing sign on March 26, 2018. Exterior
and interior photos, MIDMOGIS Map, and other documentation are attached.

1900 the State Horse Show. This park was also
the home of the Jefferson City Baseball Club and
football league. In 1905 the park was purchased
by developers to build residential housing. The
first inhabitants of some of these new properties
were employees for the railroad or for businesses
inside the penitentiary walls.

the structure, and the practicability of rehabilitation. The historic
preservation commission may request the applicant to submit
documentation or other information necessary to determine
whether the property can be rehabilitated or restored with a

X Due to the property’s location to the floodplain,
the City’s floodplain ordinance applies which has
a 50% substantial rule of the structure over a 10
year period. The estimated fair market value of
the property is $58,000 therefore no more than
$29,000 could be made in rehabilitation. The
property has federal funds associated with it,
which triggers floodplain insurance requirements
for the life of the building, asbestos, lead based
paint mitigation, and then flood proofing. It is
estimated to bring the property to habitual

CONDITION THAT HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL MAY IMPOSE
In accordance to Section 8-43(I), The Commission or Council may impose conditions on the approval of a Historic Preservation
Demolition Clearance in order to ensure that the demolition complies with any applicable requirements of this section that
include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. To ensure that notable historic or architectural features or historic fixtures that contributed to the finding of a notable
structure are being salvaged or preserved.
2. To ensure that a structure found to be a notable structure and approved for demolition clearance is properly documented
Demolition Application Page 3
Historic Preservation Commission
for posterity.
3. To ensure that partial demolition of a structure found to be a notable structure does not result in establishment of an
exterior finish that is out of character with the structure.
4. Other conditions that the Commission or City Council may deem appropriate to reduce the impact of the demolition
with respect to the applicable review criteria.
Conditions imposed by the Historic Preservation Commission may be appealed to the City Council in the manner provided for
in Section 8-43(H)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
In reviewing Section 8-43(F), Review Criteria (as outlined above), multiple surveys completed by professional organizations
identify 408 Lafayette as not being eligible for the National Register. The area was historically utilized as a park (circa 1898)
for social gatherings such as football, baseball, horse shows, flower parade, etc. The land was sold in 1905 to Parker and
Thomas who developed the area with residential houses. Historically, majority of the houses has been rental properties for the
working class residents. The 2006 Central Eastside Neighborhood Plan identifies the land use as green open/space in
accordance with its location to the floodplain (Wears Creek). This practice of green/open space for floodplain areas is common
with planning professionals as well as with federal funding. Staff recommends the property to be demolished which will be
deeded as green space.
FORM OF MOTION
Motion that the demolition clearance application for 408 Lafayette is approved by this commission.

Larry Burkhardt, AlA. P.E., Building Official @D
January 19, 2018
Condition of Structure Located at: 408 Lafayette , Jefferson City, Missouri
The following is an assessment of the structure located at 408 Lafayette to bring it back
to habitable condition . An on-site review was accomplished on November 30, 2017.
This inspection showed that the exterior and basic structure will need some minor work
to repair it to good condition. The interior, however, will need extensive work. The
electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems will need replacement. The renovation
work will also need to address flood hazard mitigation. The property does reside in the
100 year flood plain that affects the basement. According to code, "substantial
improvement" will be required to the structure to bring it into compliance with flood plain
new construction requirements if the construction costs exceed 50% value of the
structure. This may include relocating the main distribution equipment for the
mechanical, electric and plumbing systems since they reside in the basement.
As listed in MidMOGIS, the structure has 2,277 square feet above grade. It is a two
story house with a finished attic and an enclosed side porch area . The house appears
to have been modified to create 4 living units (one unit per floor including the finished
attic and basement areas). According to current code requirements, the basement unit
is not habitable since it does not have an egress window (R310.1 or IBC1030.1) and
does not have a high enough ceiling (R305.1 or IBC1208.2). If multiple living units are to
remain, fire separation requirements will need to be addressed (IBC420).
The structure can be converted back to a single family unit or remain divided into
multiple living units. The cost to repair, however, would vary to bring it back up to code
requirements depending on what residential use is chosen. The structure has been
vacant for quite some time which allows for further deterioration .
Individuals should contact the ADA Coordinator at (573) 634-6570
to request accommodations or alternative formats as required under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Please allow three business days to process the request.

408 Lafayette Assessment
In review of City Code Section 8-80 "Dangerous Buildings Code of the City of Jefferson,
Missouri, the structure should be evaluated if it meets the conditions cited. Per City
Code Section 8-81 (F), the structure's fire separations, electrical, plumbing and
mechanical systems are in disrepair and do not meet code requirements. The structure
may be declared a public nuisance and should be repaired or demolished if it meets
City Code Section 8-82(D). The estimate to bring it up to minimum code requirements
are :

Rough total estimate for repairs: $102,000.00
$12,000.00
$5,000.00
$3,000.00
$20,000.00
(Note: this cost does address flood mitigation requirements and the repair cost would
increase if the structure continues to be multi-unit).
Given the value of the neighboring buildings, this estimate exceeds the market value of
the structure and definitely would need "substantial improvements" to meet flood plain
construction requirements. Also, this repair number is sufficient to verify that the cost to
repair exceeds 50% of the value of the structure. Therefore, under City Code Section
8-82(d), the structure shall be ordered to be repaired or demolished .
Individuals should contact the ADA Coordinator at (573) 634-6570
to request accommodations or alternative formats as required under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Please allow three business days to process the request.

In his essay, Ja ckso n referred to the
early 1880s as "the beginning of the
saddle horse era in Missouri." By the
mid-1890s, sadd le h orse breeding had
become an important indusny in the
Show-Me State, largely, Jacks on argued,
because of "th e success of the entries
from Missouri at the Columbia
Exposition [Wo rld's Fair] at Chicago in
1893. At the great shows held there the
Missouri exhibitors were highly success -

decade of the nineteenth century.
Cities and towns throughout th e state

officers: Jesse W. H enry, president; L.

Treasurer. The organization's executive
committee a lso incl uded Fred H.
Binder, W W. Wagne r, M. F. Overstreet,
and George C. Ramsey. T hese men
we re among the most prominent busi-
nessmen in the community.
I n the beginning, Jefferso n City's
horse shows were held at Cottage Place
Pa rk, located on a block on the west
side of Lafayette Street, betwee n
McCarty and Miller streets. This was
also the site of the community's base-
ball field and home of the Jefferson
City Baseball Club, organized in 1896
by shoe manufacturer Henry F.
Priesmeyer. The city's ad ult football
ream, formed in 1896, also played
there. Indeed, adult base ball and
football games were important social
activities in J efferson City at t he t urn-
of-the-century, wi th th e cap ital city's
teams playing "match games" with
teams from all over central Missouri.
One mark of the growth of Jefferson
City in the twentieth century is that
Cottage Place Park, less than a half
dozen blocks fro m the hean of the
downtown, was considered on the
outskirts of the city in 1900.
One of the most popular features
of the annua l horse show, which ra n
for two to three days in A ugus t, was
the parade that preceded the show.
The parade usually began at the
Capitol, proceeded eas t on Main Street
(now Capitol Avenue) to Lafayette,
and south on Lafayette to the park.
T he parade was always colorful and
elaborate. An 1899 parade, referred to
as "the jockey parade," featured the 16-
piece Jefferson City Corner Band, with
"i rs boys dressed in new suits of white
duck coats and blue trousers." The
band was followed by "about 60 boys
and girls" al l dressed as jockeys. The
"jockeys" were "dressed in gay-colored
riding suits of various hues . . . they
presented a very pleasing sight."
The most popular parade associ -
ated with the horse show was the
annual Flower Parade, which featured
carriages (and later cars) adorned in
flowers. The 1899 parade, supervised
by Miss Trorrie Thompson and carried
our "under the auspices of the ladies of
Jefferson City," included "at least 40
vehi cles . . . in line . . . each [vying]
with the other in beauty and design ."
In 1900, the Jefferson City Horse
Show grew into the Stare Horse Show,
still held at Cottage Place Park. The
first president of the State Horse Show
Association was W. C. Marshall.
Newspaper accounts of the 1900 horse
show emphasize that this was more
th an "a local affair." Not only did par-
ticipants and spectators come from
Cole County and nearby communi-
ties, s uch as Columbia, Fulton,
Mexico, and California, but they also
included entries fro m as far away as Sr.
Louis and Kansas City. Among the
noted "horsemen" of the state who
participated in the 1900 show was D .
L. Parrish, Augustus Busch of St.
Louis, and A. E. Ashbrook, publisher
of The Horse Show Monthly of Kansas
City. The famous African -American
t rai ner and horseman from Mexico,
Tom Bass, was also present. The State
Horse Show was move d from Jefferson
City to Sedalia after the State Fa ir was
established in 1901.
Horse racing was an important
part of Jefferson City horse shows in
the early years, although betting on
horses was outlawed in Missouri in
1905. In that year, also, Cottage Place
Park was sold to local developers who
turned it into a residential area. On
May 7, 1905, the Jefferson City Daily
Tribune carried an article explai ning
that two businessmen, Lester Shepherd
Parker and C. W. Thomas, had pur-
chased Cottage Place Park for $8,000.
The park was described as extending
416 feet on Lafayette Street and 312
feet on both McCarty and Miller
Flower Parade, Myrene Houchin at the wheel. MSA .

CONDITION THAT HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL MAY IMPOSE
In accordance to Section 8-43(I), The Commission or Council may impose conditions on the approval of a Historic Preservation
Demolition Clearance in order to ensure that the demolition complies with any applicable requirements of this section that
include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. To ensure that notable historic or architectural features or historic fixtures that contributed to the finding of a notable
structure are being salvaged or preserved.
2. To ensure that a structure found to be a notable structure and approved for demolition clearance is properly documented
for posterity.
3. To ensure that partial demolition of a structure found to be a notable structure does not result in establishment of an
exterior finish that is out of character with the structure.
4. Other conditions that the Commission or City Council may deem appropriate to reduce the impact of the demolition
with respect to the applicable review criteria.
Conditions imposed by the Historic Preservation Commission may be appealed to the City Council in the manner provided for
in Section 8-43(H)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
In reviewing Section 8-43(F), Review Criteria (as outlined above), survey completed by a professional organization identify
606 E McCarty St as not being eligible for the National Register. The area was historically utilized as a park (circa 1898) for
social gatherings such as football, baseball, horse shows, flower parade, etc. The 2006 Central Eastside Neighborhood Plan
identifies the land use as green open/space in accordance with its location to the floodplain (Wears Creek). Parks and Recreation
intends to develop a Greenway Trailhead on the site, returning it back to the original land use. Staff recommends the property to be
demolished.

committee a lso incl uded Fred H.
Binder, W W. Wagne r, M. F. Overstreet,
and George C. Ramsey. T hese men
we re among the most prominent busi-
nessmen in the community.
I n the beginning, Jefferso n City's
horse shows were held at Cottage Place
Pa rk, located on a block on the west
side of Lafayette Street, betwee n
McCarty and Miller streets. This was
also the site of the community's base-
ball field and home of the Jefferson
City Baseball Club, organized in 1896
by shoe manufacturer Henry F.
Priesmeyer. The city's ad ult football
ream, formed in 1896, also played
there. Indeed, adult base ball and
football games were important social
activities in J efferson City at t he t urn-
of-the-century, wi th th e cap ital city's
teams playing "match games" with
teams from all over central Missouri.
One mark of the growth of Jefferson
City in the twentieth century is that
Cottage Place Park, less than a half
dozen blocks fro m the hean of the
downtown, was considered on the
outskirts of the city in 1900.
One of the most popular features
of the annua l horse show, which ra n
for two to three days in A ugus t, was
the parade that preceded the show.
The parade usually began at the
Capitol, proceeded eas t on Main Street
(now Capitol Avenue) to Lafayette,
and south on Lafayette to the park.
T he parade was always colorful and
elaborate. An 1899 parade, referred to
as "the jockey parade," featured the 16-
piece Jefferson City Corner Band, with
"i rs boys dressed in new suits of white
duck coats and blue trousers." The
band was followed by "about 60 boys
and girls" al l dressed as jockeys. The
"jockeys" were "dressed in gay-colored
riding suits of various hues . . . they
presented a very pleasing sight."
The most popular parade associ -
ated with the horse show was the
annual Flower Parade, which featured
carriages (and later cars) adorned in
flowers. The 1899 parade, supervised
by Miss Trorrie Thompson and carried
our "under the auspices of the ladies of
Jefferson City," included "at least 40
vehi cles . . . in line . . . each [vying]
with the other in beauty and design ."
In 1900, the Jefferson City Horse
Show grew into the Stare Horse Show,
still held at Cottage Place Park. The
first president of the State Horse Show
Association was W. C. Marshall.
Newspaper accounts of the 1900 horse
show emphasize that this was more
th an "a local affair." Not only did par-
ticipants and spectators come from
Cole County and nearby communi-
ties, s uch as Columbia, Fulton,
Mexico, and California, but they also
included entries fro m as far away as Sr.
Louis and Kansas City. Among the
noted "horsemen" of the state who
participated in the 1900 show was D .
L. Parrish, Augustus Busch of St.
Louis, and A. E. Ashbrook, publisher
of The Horse Show Monthly of Kansas
City. The famous African -American
t rai ner and horseman from Mexico,
Tom Bass, was also present. The State
Horse Show was move d from Jefferson
City to Sedalia after the State Fa ir was
established in 1901.
Horse racing was an important
part of Jefferson City horse shows in
the early years, although betting on
horses was outlawed in Missouri in
1905. In that year, also, Cottage Place
Park was sold to local developers who
turned it into a residential area. On
May 7, 1905, the Jefferson City Daily
Tribune carried an article explai ning
that two businessmen, Lester Shepherd
Parker and C. W. Thomas, had pur-
chased Cottage Place Park for $8,000.
The park was described as extending
416 feet on Lafayette Street and 312
feet on both McCarty and Miller
Flower Parade, Myrene Houchin at the wheel. MSA .

MEMORANDUM
TO: Historic Preservation Commission
FROM: Larry Burkhardt, AIA, P.E., Building Official
RE: 602 E. McCarty St. – Dangerous Building Determination
DATE: April 4, 2018
The four (4) unit structure at 602 E. McCarty Street was damaged by a fire on March 26, 2016.
The Jefferson City Fire Department responded and reported that there was a fire in one unit
with smoke damage throughout the structure. Upon my site visit, the damage was not readily
apparent on the exterior. In looking at the top eastern unit in the front, smoke damage was
found.
Initially the owners were interested in possibly restoring the structure. After investigating, the
cost of repair exceeded the value of the building which at the time was $52,500. With the
structure in the flood way, substantial improvement requirements would have increased the cost
considerably. Eventually, the owners opted to sell the property to the City of Jefferson, Parks
and Recreation Department. Reapir work would have included removing all smoke
impreganated finishes; restoring the one unit; and new electrical service.
As stated in the Dangerous Building Regulations, Section 8-81, the structure’s condition is
unsafe due to the fire damage and cannot be occupied. Given the repair cost exceeds 50% of
the value (Section 8-82, paragraph D), the City of Jefferson has the right to order it to be
repaired or demolished.
Given the above facts, the building’s condition is categorized under the dangerous building City
Code and is declared a nuisance. The structure’s condition must be abated. Photos are shown
below.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Introduction
As part of the partnership between the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and a Certified Local
Government (CLG), the CLG is responsible for reviewing and commenting on all National Register of
Historic Places nominations for properties within its jurisdiction. In most cases, the SHPO receives a
nomination first and forwards the draft to the CLG for review and comment. The CLG may also develop
or receive the documentation necessary to nominate a property to the National Register. The LG must
then forward the nomination to the SHPO for subsequent review by staff and the Missouri Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation.
Commenting on Nominations
The National Register of Historic Places nomination process requires public participation, so the review
of a National Register nomination should be placed on the preservation commission agenda.
Preservation commissions have an intimate knowledge of local history and resources, and should use
that knowledge to answer some basic questions about the property and the nomination:
• Using the National Register Criteria of Significance, is the property historically significant? (See
Missouri CLG National Register of Historic Places Nomination Review Report Form.)
• Does the property retain historic integrity? (See Missouri CLG National Register of Historic
Places Nomination Review Report Form.)
To the best of your knowledge, is the information in the nomination correct?
Does the nomination contain sufficient information to document the significance and integrity of
the property?
Following review, both the local commission and the chief elected official of the CLG shall inform the
SHPO and the property owner(s) of their separate opinions regarding the National Register nomination.
This is to be done within 60 days of receipt of the nomination data from the owner or the SHPO.
If one or both the local commission and chief elected official support the nomination or if no comments
are received, the SHPO will process the nomination according to federal guidelines. If both the local
commission and the chief elected official oppose the nomination, a letter or report outlining the reasons
for objection shall be forwarded to the SHPO. If both the local commission and chief elected official
object to the nomination, the property will not be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places
unless that decision is appealed by a property owner or interested party.
CLG Nomination Review Report Form
Attached is a review form that can be used to provide comments on National Register nominations to
the SHPO. Use of this form is not required and is provided only as a guide for providing comments and
recommendations.

SUMMARY
Woodland-Old City Cemetery, with the entrance at 1022 East McCarty Street, is the oldest extant
cemetery in Jefferson City and the oldest extant public Cemetery in Cole County; Woodland Cemetery is
the second oldest. Though they were independently established in 1822 and 1838 respectively, they have
come to be regarded as a single entity, owned by the City of Jefferson. The nominated property includes
the contributing grounds of the cemetery, one mausoleum and 4 burial vaults. Non-contributing elements
include an iron fence bordering the property on the north and west and chain link fence bordering the
property on the west and south, both circa 1999.
This property is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for local
significance in the area of Exploration/Settlement, Politics/Government and Community Development.
When the City of Jefferson was originally platted, out-lot #38 was set aside as a public graveyard and
never sold; Old City Cemetery was established at the same time as the city itself. Among the pioneers
who are interred here are persons who helped select the location for and platted the City of Jefferson.
They established the businesses and schools and developed the community; they built the homes and
businesses as well as the Capitol Building.
Woodland-Old City Cemetery meets the special cemetery requirements of Criterion D for Community
Development and Politics/Government since those buried here include a number of people who were
exceptionally significant in determining the course of Missouri History. Persons interred here developed
the government of Jefferson City and the State of Missouri and made a significant impact on the history of
Missouri, including Governor John Sappington Marmaduke, Governor Thomas Reynolds, Missouri
Supreme Court Justice William Scott and, General Mosby Monroe Parsons.
The nominated property occupies approximately seven acres, bounded on the north by East McCarty
Street, on the west by Chestnut Street and on the south by East Miller Street. It shares an ashlar stone
wall with the Jefferson City National Cemetery on the east. Some boundary adjustments have been made
since the property was originally platted in 1822. Approximately 2 acres on the east was sold to the
Federal Government in 1868 (fig. 3) to establish the Jefferson City National Cemetery, which was listed on
the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.1 Van Buren Street originally stopped at the cemetery's
western boundary on Chestnut Street. In 1897, the street was renamed East McCarty and widened
through the northern boundary of the cemetery. This necessitated relocating 185 burials 2 to elsewhere in
the cemetery; 105 of these were "unknown". Other than that, the layout of Woodland-Old City Cemetery is
unchanged and the original design and historic appearance remains intact.
The associated period of significance, 1822-1925, extends from the year the cemetery was established to
the year when all lots in the cemetery had been sold. After that time, burials continued only in established
family plots and the last was Charles Edward Dewey, Jr. in March 2014.
As with many very old cemeteries, there have been incidents of vandalism in the distant past, but repairs
have been on-going and the property retains integrity of location, setting, feeling, design and materials. In
1994, Woodland-Old City Cemetery was recognized by the Jefferson City Historic Preservation
Commission as a local landmark, along with the adjacent Jefferson City National Cemetery.

ELABORATION
In 1822, when the City of Jefferson was being platted, out-lot #38 was set aside as a city "graveyard" and
was never sold. (fig. 3.) Situated at 1022 East McCarty Street, Old City Cemetery, also known as Fairview
Cemetery, is the oldest extant cemetery in Jefferson City and the oldest extant public cemetery in Cole
County. Bounded on the North by East McCarty Street, it begins at Chestnut Street and ends with the
Clarke Mausoleum on East McCarty Street. The southern boundary extends into the trees to a bluff and
chain-link fence behind the Jefferson City Fire Museum on East Miller Street. (fig. 6) The trees and
underbrush are overgrown in this area and though it is part of the cemetery, no burials have been
identified there.
In 1838, Israel B. Read and his wife, Mary, purchased all of out-lot #39 (Figure 3.) and established
Woodland Cemetery as a private cemetery. It is contiguous with Old City Cemetery on the west and
bounded on the north by East McCarty Street, on the south by East Miller Street and shares an ashlar
stone wall on the east with the Jefferson City National Cemetery. In 1868, two acres of the eastern section
of out-lot #39, along Locust Street, were transferred to the United States government for the Jefferson City
National Cemetery (fig. 3) which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.3
Over time, Woodland Cemetery and Old City Cemetery came to be regarded as one entity and in the year
2000, ownership of Woodland Cemetery was transferred to the City of Jefferson along with a modest trust
fund.4
Woodland-Old City Cemetery is situated on top of a diagonal ridge that gradually slopes downward from
the front of Woodland Cemetery on East McCarty Street toward the back on East Miller Street. At the
western edge in Old City Cemetery, the peak of the ridge is near the center of the cemetery and slopes
toward the corner of Chestnut Street and East McCarty Street and backward to a bluff on East Miller
Street. Mature trees dot the landscape. A walnut tree just west of the Clarke Mausoleum and a large oak
tree (photo 16, background) just beyond the main entrance are estimated to be almost as old as the
cemetery itself.
Originally, Old City Cemetery was at the edge of the city and Woodland Cemetery was just outside the
corporate limits. (fig. 2) Today the property is well inside the city. The surrounding neighborhood is mostly
older homes with a few newer structures. It is primarily residential along East McCarty, Chestnut and
Locust Streets, with the exception of a small office building and an auto mechanic's shop on East McCarty
Street. There is a city park across East Miller Street and the Fire Museum of Jefferson City and a city
maintenance building border Old City Cemetery on the south.
Woodland-Old City Cemetery contains five structures that are contributing resources, a mausoleum and
four above-ground burial vaults. The Clarke Mausoleum (photo 1) is at the eastern end of Old City
Cemetery and measures 14 feet at the base along the front and 17 feet along the sides. It is constructed
of limestone and concrete with a peaked roof of large limestone slabs. There are inset wooden windows
with fixed glass on the east and west sides of the structure. The inset front door faces East McCarty
Street; it is wooden with a fixed pane of glass at the top. A wrought iron gate secures the entrance with
Corinthian columns on either side. Above the door there is a decorative facade extending above the
roofline with a circular medallion engraved with the letter "C" in the center surrounded by a laurel wreath.
A gated wrought iron picket fence encloses the plot with a gate on the east. The first burial in this
mausoleum was Junius Clarke who died in 1878 followed by his father, Joseph in 1889 and mother
Lavenia in 1901.

The Herrick burial vault is a unique structure situated toward the center and back of Old City Cemetery
where the ground slopes toward East Miller Street. A barrel vault was constructed of brick then covered
with a skim -coat of concrete. There is a cap at either end of the vault with an upright engraved marble
stone on the western end. A contiguous brick wall extends from either side of the vault and defines the
entire family plot. This was filled with dirt and three other family members were buried on either side of the
vault. Charlotte Herrick was interred in the main vault in 1897. Her mother, infant daughter and father-in-
law are buried to either side of her. (photo 2) Repairs to this vault and the wall are scheduled for this
spring.
There is a somewhat unusual chest marker near the center of Woodland Cemetery. It is built of brick and
is about five or six courses high on the down-hill side. It has a large, thick cap constructed of a very dark,
rough material that looks similar to concrete mixed with fine gravel. Unfortunately, there is no identifying
marker on or near the vault to explain who might be buried there. (photo 3)
Eliza (Blancet) Wines' tomb (photo 4) is located toward the middle of Woodland Cemetery. It is a simple,
smooth design made of granite with a slightly peaked top. The front is engraved with a dove. Mrs. Wines
was interred there in 1923.
The tomb for Reverend George Chambers, a retired Episcopal minister, and his wife, Louise (Simmons)
Chambers (photo 5) is near the back of Woodland Cemetery, toward the west. The tomb is tan-colored
cement with a natural cement base and top and the front is adorned with an Celtic cross. The boundaries
of the plot are identified by a low concrete wall. Louise died in 1917 and George Chambers was interred
there in 1926.
Tombstones near the front of Old City Cemetery face true east. These markers are at a slight angle to the
property line while the graves near the back of the cemetery are aligned with the property line. Woodland
Cemetery begins at the Clarke Mausoleum and moves eastward to the National Cemetery; tombstones in
this area face in a somewhat easterly direction but are more squarely aligned with the property line. It was
a Christian custom to position tombstones facing east in anticipation of the Second Coming of Christ.5
Tombstones found here are made of limestone, granite, and marble with some home-made markers of
concrete. There are two very large, identical granite obelisks marking the graves of Governor John
Sappington Marmaduke (1833-1887) and Judge William Scott (1804-1862) (photo 8).
There is a wide variety of markers in this cemetery, ranging from somewhat ornate and with symbolic
inscriptions (photo 19) to simple, home-made ones of rough concrete. Victorian-era markers display the
iconography of clasped hands, anchor, drape, rose, lily, books and lambs.(photos 17 and 18 ) A number
of bed-stones can be found throughout the cemetery. Five include ornate headstones and footstones,
(photo 6) while others are just a concrete outline of the burial plot. (photo 7) There are eighteen of these
simple markers in Old City Cemetery; only five have any identifying marks, so the remainder are
"unknowns
The graves of legislators buried in the State Lot are marked with table stones--large slabs of marble that
originally stood on four legs much like a table. This style of marker was popular during colonial times.
"There appears to be some uncertainty as to who it was that devised the scheme of placing the
state tablets flat upon chimney-legs. Whoever originated the plan had neither an eye for the
artistic nor a mind with scientific bent, since he has made the state graveyard to resemble a
banquet hall of the dead, while the immense weight of the tablets has caused many of the marble

stones to become strongly depressed in the centre, thus utterly destroying their symmetry and
giving to the cemetery an appearance of dilapidation."6
At some time after 1886, the legs were removed and the stones now rest directly upon the ground.
It is evident that defining land ownership was an important concept to these pioneer settlers. Early sales
of many of the lots are recorded in the office of the Cole County Recorder of Deeds (fig. 3) and the
boundaries of family plots were identified in various ways. Several are enclosed by stone or cement walls
and others by wrought iron fences; (photo 9) some plots have a combination of both (photo 10). Because
parts of the cemetery have a considerable slope and the soil is shallow, there are family plots that are
situated atop plateaus constructed of stone or concrete. (Photo 16) An aerial view of the cemetery reveals
the prevalence of these clearly defined family plots. (Fig. 6)
At the time Woodland-Old City Cemetery was established, Van Buren Street ended at Chestnut Street and
the cemeteries were at the outermost edge of the city. Around 1897, the name of Van Buren Street was
changed to McCarty Street and it was widened through and well past the cemetery, necessitating the
relocation of 185 burials, 105 of which were "unknown".7 It is likely that these unknowns were reinterred in
a mass, unmarked grave. Old City Cemetery was a public burial ground as well as a pauper's cemetery so
it is logical that there would be a high incidence of unmarked burials here.
Woodland-Old City Cemetery is enclosed along East McCarty Street and part of Chestnut Street with an
ashlar stone wall topped by a spear-top, iron picket fence, 4 feet tall with 3/4 inch square pickets spaced 4
inches apart. The stone wall was built around 1897 when East McCarty Street was widened and paved. It
is 4 feet tall at the east end,11 feet tall near the middle where Ash Street intersects East McCarty Street.
It then stair-steps down to a height of 4.5 feet at the corner of Chestnut and East McCarty. The iron fence
is newer and was installed in 1999 as a security measure. The design is consistent with the original
wrought iron fences that are found throughout the cemetery and is esthetically appealing.(Photo 11)
The main entrance to the cemetery is at 1022 East McCarty Street, identified by a double Iron gate, 10.5
feet wide with a 35' concrete, inclined ramp that is bordered by a short stone wall. Two smaller, unpaved
entrance ramps open to East McCarty Street as well as 3 recessed entrances with steps leading to the
cemetery. All five have gates that are kept permanently closed as a security measure. There is a bow-
shaped iron sign above the ramp entrance nearest the center of the wall, identifying the property,
"Woodland-Old City Cemetery". (Photo 11) The fence is approximately 1785 ft. long on East McCarty and
75 feet on Chestnut Street. Along the balance of Chestnut Street and on East Miller Street, the cemetery
is secured with chain-link fences which are 6 feet tall. There is a 20 ft. swing-gate on East Miller Street for
use by service vehicles; this is kept locked except when in use.
Upon entering Woodland Cemetery, there is a 32-by-60 foot lot to the right, fronting on East McCarty
Street. This section is defined by a low concrete wall with a flagpole near the center of the plot and was
designated as a State Lot for burial of early government representatives. (Photo 12) When the city was
first being developed, there were few roads and the primary mode of transportation was the Missouri River
so transporting bodies great distances overland would have been a difficult task. From a practical
standpoint, this state lot provided a dedicated and honored place for burial of these lawmakers. The first
burial in the State Lot was a Representative from Madison County, Missouri, Yelverton O'Bannon, who
died December 31, 1831. This was before Woodland Cemetery was formally established, so it is apparent
that the State Lot pre-dates Woodland Cemetery. Former Governors Thomas Reynolds (1796-1844) and
John Sappington Marmaduke (1833-1887) are also buried there. The last burial in the State Lot was
Henry Watkins Ewing in 1898.

As was common in that era, Old City Cemetery was segregated, with African American burials at the
western end along Chestnut Street. This section makes up slightly less than 1/4 of Old City Cemetery.
There is a noticeable lack of grave markers in this part of the cemetery. (photo 13) It is likely that many
graves were not given permanent markers or were originally identified with native stones or wooden
markers that did not withstand the test of time. To date, primarily using death certificates and obituaries,
300 unmarked burials have been identified in this part of the cemetery.8 Since death certificates were not
issued until 1910, and obituaries were generally limited to the very important, it is reasonable to expect
that this does not reflect the true number of unmarked burials.
Along the wall in the S.E. corner of Woodland Cemetery, 42 ft. from the back fence, there is a concrete
slab measuring 12 feet square with a 4 ft. x 5 ft. extension on the west. A stone maintenance building
once stood at this location. It was no longer in use and was demolished in the late 1990's in an effort to
deter loitering and vandalism. It is unknown when the building was originally built.
The cemetery is largely intact, but like many very old cemeteries, decades of neglect and incidents of
vandalism have taken a toll on the property. Newspaper articles as far back as the 1870's describe
"dilapidation, decay, neglect, broken headstones, sunken graves, and all that speaks of neglect to the
memory of departed ones is found at every footstep inside of the rude, uncared for grounds".9 (photo 14)
When Riverview Cemetery, on the city's west side, opened in 1910, several prominent families moved the
remains of their loved ones out of Woodland-Old City Cemetery. This did not compromise the overall
appearance or integrity of the property. The grounds retain their original feeling, setting and design.

SUMMARY
Woodland-Old City cemetery is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for
local significance in the area of Exploration/Settlement. Community Developement and also
Politics/Government since it is directly associated with the founding of Jefferson City.10 This cemetery
was part of the original plat plan for the new capital city. Many of the people interred here were the
earliest settlers to Jefferson City and Cole County; some were among the 31 original families living in
Jefferson City in November 1826.11 As a cemetery, it meets the special cemetery requirements of
Criterion D since it contains the graves of a number of people who were exceptionally significant in
determining the course of Missouri history.12 They built and established the City of Jefferson and the early
government of the State of Missouri, including Governor John Sappington Marmaduke, Governor
Thomas Reynolds, Missouri Supreme Court Justice William Scott, and General Mosby Monroe
Parsons' cenotaph. Many of the people buried here occupied the first homes in Jefferson City; they
opened the first businesses, established the schools and built the first buildings.
ELABORATION
The congressional act of March 6, 1820, authorizing the establishment of a State government, set apart
four sections of public lands as a site for the capital city. When Missouri became a state in 1821, the
temporary seat of government was in St. Charles, Missouri. The Constitutional Commission was charged
with the duty of selecting a permanent seat of government and after much discussion and debate, the
General Assembly finally voted on December 31, 1821, to establish the "City of Jefferson" in the Howard's
Bluff vicinity on the Missouri River. At that time there were only two houses there.13
PEOPLE INTERRED
Elias Barcroft, (1778-1851) served in the State Senate 1821-1822 and was Auditor of Public Accounts
1823-1833, during the time the City of Jefferson was established. Mr. Barcroft was appointed Deputy
Surveyor of the Missouri Territory in 1813 and surveyed portions of the new state of Missouri before he
was assigned the responsibility of platting the City of Jefferson. There were 1,000 in-lots, and the
remaining part of the four sections was laid off into out-lots of 5, 10, 20 and 40 acres which were to be
sold the first Monday in May with proceeds raised going toward financing the building of the first Capitol.14
At that time, the five acre out-lot #38 was set aside as a public graveyard and was never sold. (fig. 2 & 3)
The first recorded burial there was Eliza Jane Casey, who died August 12, 1826 at the age of 5 years.
She was the daughter of Revolutionary War veteran, Harden Casey (1794-1844) and Fanny Embree
Casey. Harden Casey was among the original 31 residents of Jefferson City.

In 1826 the capital was relocated to Jefferson City. At that time, the city was occupied by thirty one
families and only a few businesses, which included a general store, a gristmill, a distillery, and multiple
taverns which accommodated the newly arriving lawmakers. Nine people of those original 31 families are
buried in Woodland-Old City Cemetery: H. H. Baber (1795-1873), Christopher Casey (1755-1840),

purchased out-lot #39, from the Commissioner of the Permanent Seat of Government, for the sum of
$100. Mr. Read laid out Woodland Cemetery and proceeded to sell lots, many of which are recorded in
the office of the Cole County Recorder of Deeds. (fig. 3)
In 1868, two acres on the east side of out-lot #39 were sold to the Federal Government for $800 and the
Jefferson City National Cemetery was established.(fig. 3) This property was listed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1998.17
Many of the very first settlers, government officials and early businessmen are buried in Woodland-Old
City Cemetery. The first gristmill, an original horse-power affair, was erected by Harden Casey (1794-

west in search of gold and never returned. His wife Casander Casey Gordon (1787-1852) and daughter
Martha Gordon are buried in Old City Cemetery next to his father-in-law, Revolutionary War veteran
Christopher Casey (1755-1840). His father, John Gordon (1761-1837), also a veteran of the
Revolutionary War, is buried nearby. In the same month and year the taverns of Josiah Ramsay, Ralph
Briscoe and Job Goodall (1797-1856) were opened.20
The first general store was opened in 1826-27 by Daniel Colgan (d. 1848) on the northeast corner of the
present Capitol grounds. For over a year he enjoyed a monopoly of trade. In 1828 Israel B. Read (d.

Missouri Supreme Court Judges William Scott, Hamilton R. Gamble and John F. Ryland. The vote was
split with Scott and Ryland finding for Emerson and Gamble in favor of Scott. Justice W illiam Scott was
the author of the majority opinion, released in March 22, 1852. This decision was appealed to the U.S.
Supreme Court. In Dred Scott v. Sandford, the U. S. Supreme Courts found in favor of Scott which
elevated the dispute of slavery and was one of the precipitating factors for the outbreak of the Civil War.23

for by the Missouri State Senate. (photo 8)
There is a cenotaph stone in Woodland Cemetery for Mosby Monroe Parsons (1822-1865), Major

Division, Missouri State Guard and was commissioned Brigadier General in 1862. He served in all the
major battles of the Civil War west of the Mississippi River. When the war ended, like many other
Missouri Confederates, he and his brother-in-law, Capt. Austin M. Standish, chose to go to Mexico rather
than return to Missouri. They were killed by a band of regular Mexican cavalry near China, Mexico and

buried there in unmarked graves.24 His military tombstone in Woodland Cemetery is inside a fenced
enclosure with his wife, Mary (Wells) Parsons (1830-1853) and infant daughter, Josephine Parsons
(1853-1853).
His father, General Gustavus A. Parsons, (1801-1882) was the last personal secretary to President
Thomas Jefferson before coming to Missouri in 1837. In 1839, he was deputy of the circuit and county
court and in 1841 he was elected Clerk of the circuit and county court where he served for 24 consecutive
years while also practicing law. He served as Missouri adjutant general twice, first 1843-48 and again
1857-60. He was noted for personally riding to the Kansas border to settle the uprisings there. His home
at 105 Jackson Street was built in the 1830's and is said to be the oldest home in Jefferson City. His wife
and six daughters are buried near him in Woodland Cemetery.25
When the Civil War began in April 1861, African Americans were not allowed to join the army. But by July
1862, recruitment and enlistment began and by the war’s end, 200,000 black men had worn the federal
uniform.26 At the close of the Civil War, an idea was conceived among the veterans of the 62nd and 65th
USCT to establish a school in Missouri for the education of "Negroes". Some of the men had learned to
read and write during their service in the army and it seemed reasonable that this learning should
continue. Donations were solicited from all veterans and some members of the 62nd and 65th U.S.
Colored Troops, donated their mustering out pay to establish this school in Jefferson City, Missouri. "The
Lincoln Institute was established especially for the benefit of the Negro", but didn't exclude students of
other races.27 Twelve U.S. Colored Troops, veterans of the Civil War, are buried in Old City Cemetery.

THE STATE LOT:
A 32' x 60' section of Woodland Cemetery, along East McCarty Street, was consecrated for burial of state
officials. This plot is enclosed by a short concrete wall with a marker in the center of the north side,
designating it as the "State Lot". (photo 12) Monuments erected here are by order of the General
Assembly of the State of Missouri. The City of Jefferson has assumed responsibility for mowing and
repairing tombstones in this plot and the Office of Administration of the State of Missouri has made
periodic improvements to the landscaping for the last 3 years.
Governor John Sappington Marmaduke (1833-1887). Civil War Confederate Major General and
Missouri's 25th Governor, he was born in Arrow Rock, Missouri. After attending Yale and Harvard, he
graduated from West Point in 1857 and was commissioned a US Army officer. With the outbreak of the
Civil War, he resigned his commission and cast his lot with the Confederacy; serving as Colonel, he
commanded the troops during the Battle of Boonville, one of the earliest military engagements in Missouri.

promoted to Brigadier General in November, 1862. During 1863, he took part in the attack on Helena,
Arkansas and the defense of Little Rock. Following the Red River campaign of 1864, he was in command
of the rear guard, when captured at Mine Creek, Kansas in October, 1864. On March 18, 1865, while still
imprisoned, he was appointed Major General and was released after the Confederate surrender.
Following the war, he returned to Missouri and was a member of the Missouri Railway Commission. In
1884, he was elected, as a Democrat, the twenty-fifth Governor of Missouri. He was the state's first post-
war Confederate governor. Two of his relatives had preceded him as Missouri's chief executive; his
father, Meredith Miles Marmaduke, was the eighth governor and Claiborne Fox Jackson, his uncle, was
the fifteenth to serve in that office.28
Governor Thomas Reynolds (1796-1844) had a varied and distinguished career in public service. By
the age of thirty-three, Thomas Reynolds had enjoyed a successful political career in Illinois before
coming to Missouri in 1829. From 1818 to 1822 he served as Clerk of the Illinois House of
Representatives. In 1822 he became a judge, serving on the circuit court and as Chief Justice of the
Illinois Supreme Court from 1822 to 1825. From 1826 to 1828 Reynolds served in the Illinois House of
Representatives. When he arrived in Fayette, Missouri he intended to edit the local newspaper, but in
1832 he was elected to the Missouri House of Representatives and was named Speaker of the House,
serving until 1833. In 1837 he returned to the bench as a District Court Judge, serving until 1840 when he
was the successful Democratic nominee for Governor. He served from 1841 until his death in 1844. He
considered his greatest accomplishment to be his effort to change the practice of imprisoning those who
could not pay their debts. On the subject of slavery, he was an ardent states' rights advocate, favoring a
life sentence for anyone who aided the escape of a slave. Reynolds committed suicide eight months
before the end of his term, leaving a note charging that "slanders and abuse" by his enemies made life
unbearable.29
Henry Watkins Ewing (1849-1898) After he completed the law course at Columbia, he was admitted to
practice and in 1873 and was elected Clerk of the Supreme Court, serving for 18 years. In 1884 he
purchased a controlling interest in the Tribune Printing Company and became its Editor and President of
the daily and weekly Tribune. His father was Judge E.B. Ewing, Secretary of State, Attorney General,
Circuit Court Judge and twice a Supreme Court Judge.30
Nineteen additional burials are recorded in the State Lot from 1831-1895, representing the earliest officials
of Missouri's young government.31
Carrie Allen Crittenden, (1873-1882) was the daughter of Governor Thomas Theodore Crittenden,
Missouri's 25th governor whose notable accomplishment was accepting the surrender of outlaw Frank
James.32 Carrie was the first to die in the current governor's mansion and the only child. When Mel
Carnahan was governor, his wife, Jean, commissioned a bronze sculpture of Carrie Crittenden dancing
through a large fountain; it is located in front of the governor's mansion.33 When the ladies of the DAR
surveyed this cemetery in 1976, they were unable to locate her burial. A newspaper article cited, "Scarcely

Gov. Crittenden fronting which is an iron archway, over which the green and tim'rous myrtle grows in

longer there, but the marble slab remained, almost completely obscured by grass and soil. A new
monument identifying this child's burial was erected on top of the slab. There is a cenotaph monument to
Carrie with other family members in Forest Hill Cemetery in Kansas City, MO.
Horace Augustus Swift, (1833-1907) came to Jefferson City about 1856, and was extensively engaged
in building until the beginning of the Civil War. In 1859 he had the contract to build additions to the state
mental hospital at Fulton, and he also erected many of the best buildings of the city. He was appointed
warden of the Missouri Penitentiary by Governor Fletcher, January 4, 1865, and served four years. He
inaugurated the contract system that allowed for the employment of prison labor in privately owned
businesses and the establishment of factories inside the prison walls. He instituted many methods of
discipline that were in accepted practice for a long time after his departure. During the Civil War he was
called upon by the state to erect barricades and embankments across his hilltop property at the outskirts
of Jefferson City as fortifications to protect the city. In 1882 he was elected to the office of county judge
and served eight years. His influence contributed greatly to the successful completion of a substantial
bridge across the Moreau Creek; his ambition was to have Cole County rank first in Missouri in regard to
modern improvements.35 At the time he was warden of the prison, a narrow thoroughfare known as
Water Street furnished the only means of transportation from the depot to the prison. Main Street (Capitol
Avenue) was a series of knolls and ditches, intersected by a deep ravine. Warden Swift used a force of
convicts to grade the street. "While the development of the highway which bears his name (residential
street now named Swift's Highway), and the introduction of the road districts have won him lasting fame,
his work in creating Main Street must go down as the outstanding gift to Jefferson City."36
William H. Lusk (1827-1900), a veteran of the Mexican War, came to Cole County with his family in 1840.
He and his brother purchased and ran The Jefferson Inquirer newspaper. In March 1861, the paper went
down and William became the confidential correspondent of Frank P. Blair, a prominent legislator who
was active in preventing the state of Missouri from being absorbed into the Confederacy at the beginning
of the Civil War. Later he assisted Captain Nathaniel Lyon, commander of the U.S. Arsenal at St. Louis.
Facts obtained through his correspondence contributed to the removal of Gen. Harney and the capture of
Camp Jackson. He fought on the side of the Union during the Civil War and took part in the capture of
Gen. John S. Marmaduke, Gen. Gabell and some 300 prisoners at the battle of Osage, Kansas on
October 25, 1864. In 1870 he was elected Clerk of the Circuit Court and Ex-officio Recorder.37
Charles F. Lohman (1817-1879) immigrated to the United States in 1842 and came to Jefferson City
about 1848. He and his son, Louis Charles Lohman, were for more than sixty years conspicuously active
factors in the development of Jefferson City and central Missouri. Lohman's Store, situated on the
riverfront at the foot of Jefferson and Water streets, was for years the leading mercantile establishment of
Jefferson City. This point was the boat landing, and before the railroad was built, the receiving point for all
goods coming into Jefferson City38 This building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in
1969.39

Maj. Alfred J. Basye (1785-1856) On coming to Missouri, Maj. Basye settled in Howard County which he
represented in the legislature when St. Charles was temporary seat of government prior to 1826. In 1826,
he came to Jefferson City and bought the block between Capitol Avenue and High Street and Jackson
and Adams and built his house on the quarter block at the southeast corner of the junction of Madison and
W ater Streets, across the street east of the executive mansion grounds. Major Basye served for at time
as land commissioner, and was appointed postmaster by President Taylor.40
John Bingham Ruthven, (1814/1819-1893) A Canadian by birth, he was one of the early settlers of
Morgan County and later relocated to Jefferson City where he went to work for the Missouri State
Penitentiary. It is said he held every office there but warden. When the Supreme Court Building was
under construction n 1878, he was Superintendent of works.41 Mr. Ruthven fought on the side of the
Confederacy during the Civil War and attained the rank of Major. His home on Cherry Street was listed to
the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.42
John Tweedie, Sr., (1838-1908) Immigrated to this country from Dumfriesshire, Scotland in 1856,
working in New York City and New England prior to the Civil War when he enlisted on the side of the
Union. He remained in government service until 1867 when he was superintendent of the National
Cemetery at Andersonville, GA. He also worked as superintendent of construction for African American
schools under the Peabody fund. In 1869 he went to St. Louis to work in the shoe trade and came to
Jefferson City to manage the A. Prisemeyer Shoe Company which later became the Tweedie Shoe
Company. 43 After his death, family members continued to operate the company which was a major
employer in Jefferson City until they closed April 8, 1964. They employed 464 workers at the time. William
R. Tweedie Sr., C.E.O. and his won William Tweedie, Jr., spent the next three years liquidating the assets
of the corporation and negotiating the sale of the property to the State of Missouri.
Phillip Thomas Miller (1818-1894) came to Jefferson City at the age of 15 where he was a clerk in the
store of his uncle, Thomas Miller; he then opened his own business where he worked until 1839. He was
a clerk on the Steamer Amelia for his uncle and later became captain. After that he was clerk of the
Missouri Penitentiary and was appointed Warden in 1861. He went on to organize the Jefferson City
Savings Association which became the Exchange Bank, then National Exchange Bank. He was editor of
the Jefferson City Tribune and after retiring from that was appointed Chief Bookkeeper in the office of
State Treasurer.44
Dr. Johann Bernhard Bruns, (1800-1864) Immigrating from Prussia in 1832, he came to St. Louis
thence to Osage County, where he bought land and contracted for the erection of a house, before
returning to Germany for his family. In 1835, he came with a small colony and founded the town of
Westphalia, Missouri. He practiced medicine there until 1856 when he moved to Jefferson City and was
Mayor at the time of his death. His wife, Anna Henrietta "Jette" Bruns (1813-1899) wrote letters home
to family in Prussia, detailing the trials and hardships of pioneer life in Missouri. These were later
compiled and published under the title, "Hold Dear, as Always". Their son, Captain Henry Bruns (1842--
1863), was the first person from Jefferson City to be killed in the Civil War.45

Maj. Joseph Marcus Clarke (1814-1889) was a native of Ohio. He moved to Kentucky and Illinois before
finally settling in Osage County, Missouri where he farmed and owned a newspaper. At the outbreak of
the Civil War, he returned to Kentucky where he stayed until 1874 when he moved to Jefferson City.
Major Clarke represented Osage County two terms in the State Legislature; he helped establish the
Merchant's Bank in Jefferson City, serving as the largest stockholder and their first president. He also
served as President for many years of the First National Bank and owned a number of buildings, among
them Clarke's Row on East Main (Capitol Avenue).46 He owned many valuable farms in Missouri,
Kentucky, and Illinois, and was a large property owner in Chicago. When he died, most of his assets were
bequeathed to relatives, renters, friends and former slaves. He gave the City of Jefferson a building,
Bragg Hall, on the southwest corner of High and Madison Street for use as City Hall.47
William C. Young (1813-1895) was an influential man in the early days of Jefferson City. He was one of
the contractors on the original State House. On the second appropriation he was appointed
superintendent of construction to finish the building. He built the courthouses of Camden, Morgan and
Wright Counties as well as the extravagant house of Thomas Lawson Price on High Street. He was judge
advocate of the Missouri State Militia and served as Cole County Judge three times.
His son was, Dr. Robert E. Young, (1840-1904) who served as Physician of the Missouri State
Penitentiary, Superintendent of the mental hospital at Nevada, Missouri, and was the personal medical
advisor of Governor John Sappington Marmaduke. Dr. Young was the first treasurer of the 1873
Medical Society of Central Missouri and first President of the 1897 Central Missouri Medical Society. As a
lover of history, Dr. Young made his mark on Jefferson City and Missouri's history by writing a series of
letters about Jefferson City during his childhood and his experiences in the War Between the States. In
1997, these letters were compiled and published in a book entitled Pioneers of High, Water, and Main.48
"Many of those who came here were direct descendants of patriot colonists from Virginia and the
Carolinas who fought in the American Revolution. Several, including Christopher Casey (1755-1840)
and John Gordon (1761-1837) were themselves patriot soldiers. Through the efforts of early pioneers,
the City of Jefferson was born and became the permanent capital of Missouri...Many of the names
recorded by the pen of Dr. Young can now be found etched on the tombstones of eternity at the Woodland
and Old City Cemetery."49
HISTORY
In 1838, Israel B. Read (d. 1885) and his wife, Mary Read (1822-1867), purchased all of out-lot #39 and
established Woodland Cemetery as a private Cemetery. In 1868, two acres of the eastern section of out-
lot #39, along Locust Street, were sold to the United States government for the Jefferson City National
Cemetery which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.50
On October 21, 1887, Sallie (Minor) Gamble, for the sum of $200, conveyed Woodland Cemetery to the
Woodland Cemetery Association, represented by O. G. Burch.51 He served as trustee of Woodland

until his death in 1973, and John C. Scruggs from 1973 until his death in 1994.52
A plat of Woodland Cemetery, out-lot #39, compiled April 1897 compiled by W. Vogdt, Civil Engineer, (fig.
5) shows the names of owners of lots, is on file in the Cole County office of the Recorder of Deeds. By
comparing this original plat with the cemetery as it appears today, it can be determined that the layout of
the property is essentially unchanged.
A partial plat of Old City Cemetery, showing only the southern portion, was compiled by E. F. C. Harding in
May of 1906. (fig. 4) It is incomplete but shows a few names of lot owners. In 2017, G.I.S. students from
Lincoln University partnered with the G.I.S. Department of the City of Jefferson and created a complete
digital map of Old City Cemetery. This is available through the city's web site.53
Since Old City Cemetery on out-lot #38 was never sold, a deed with legal description was never issued. In
January 1931 a Commissioner's Deed was issued and signed by Herman Lufey, Commissioner of the
Permanent Seat of Government of Missouri to perfect the deed to the City of Jefferson.54
Woodland Cemetery on out-lot #39 was controlled by an inactive trust and the City of Jefferson gained
ownership of the property in 2000, along with a modest trust that has been used to make annual repairs to
the tombstones and property. At that time a Quit Claim Deed was issued transferring ownership of the
property to the City of Jefferson. There is no legal description of the property other than, "that part of out-
lot #39 in the City of Jefferson commonly known as Woodland Cemetery". 55
To date, no original burial record has been found for either Old City Cemetery or Woodland Cemetery.
Since death certificates were not required until 1910 and obituaries in early years were not universally
published, it is evident that there are a large number of unmarked burials here making it difficult to obtain
an accurate count. Some markers have simply not withstood the test of time.
In 1976 members of the Jane Randolph Jefferson Chapter of the National Society, Daughters of the
American Revolution, did a comprehensive survey of Woodland-Old City Cemetery56 At that time, they
identified over 1,800 burials there, some with incomplete or no identification. When a new survey was
done in 2014, about 100 of those previously identified burials could not be found. Using death certificates,
obituaries, veteran's records 57 and other references, an additional 779 unmarked burials have since been
identified.
An article appearing in The State Times, published in Jefferson City on Friday, August 13, 1886, included
this statement: "Lying immediately within the gate of the state cemetery are two unmarked graves...One
grave contains the body of John W. Patterson, once a noted correspondent of the New York Herald, who
died at Jefferson City while holding a principal clerkship in the Secretary of State's office. The other
contains the body of James Edwards, who died while serving as a clerk in the auditor's office." A school

teacher, Jefferson Thompson or Jefferson Thomas was buried in the City Cemetery, but no marker was
found. 58
A partial tombstone that was uncovered under the large walnut tree at the front of Old City Cemetery, near
the grave of Revolutionary War veteran Christopher Casey. Most identifying information is missing, but
what remains indicates that "Captain... who died the 11th of October..." A small, crude, concrete marker
stands in the same area; it has the number 6180 etched into the top. We've been unable to associate that
number with anything that might help in identifying who is buried here. Another mystery from the past that
is waiting to be solved.
There were major cholera outbreaks in 1832, 1849 and 1866. The disease was transported by riverboat to
ports along the Missouri River, including Jefferson City, and people died in large numbers. Those who
died, were dying or infected were brought ashore; the dead were hastily buried, often in unmarked
graves.59 Since Old City Cemetery was publically owned, bodies of "unknowns" were generally interred
there. Several death certificates, issued since 1910, have identified bodies that washed ashore in the river
or unknown transients who were riding on freight trains and were accidentally killed.60 All were buried in
the "City Cemetery." Old City Cemetery was also the designated paupers cemetery, a burial place for the
indigent. For the most part, these were buried without permanent grave markers. There are
approximately 2,674 documented burials in this cemetery but it is likely there are a great deal more than
that.
In 1999 a group of citizens were concerned about the deteriorating condition of the cemetery. At that time,
the City Council budgeted $48,000 for exterior improvements, matching $6,000 raised from private
donations through the Cole County Historical Society. An iron picket fence was erected atop the stone
wall on East McCarty Street. At the same time, a chain-link fence was erected along the southern and
eastern borders of the cemetery. Toppled walls within the cemetery were repaired.61
Though there were some very early alterations to the boundaries of the Woodland-Old City Cemetery, the
integrity of this cemetery remains intact. The layout is basically unchanged and the cemetery has retained
its original feeling, design and setting. Very old grave markers, stone walls, antique iron fencing, mature
trees--all of these elements come together in this natural setting and create the feeling of stepping back in
time. (photo 15)
Woodland-Old City Cemetery meets the requirements for Criterion A for local significance in the area of
Exploration/Settlement, Politics/Government and Community Development since it was established at the
same time as the city itself 62. A large number individuals interred here were prominent, influential
merchants, professionals, civic leaders and politicians. As the first settlers, they built the buildings and
established the community, businesses and schools. The lives of the people interred here are closely
intertwined with the birth and development of this city as well as the state of Missouri.63

This cemetery meets the special requirements of Criteria D for cemeteries based on age since it was
established at the same time as the City of Jefferson.64 It also meets the special requirements for Politics/
Government under Criterion D since a there are number of persons buried here who, as military leaders,
governors, legislators and jurists, were exceptionally significant in determining the course of Missouri's
history, including Governor John Sappington Marmaduke, Governor Thomas Reynolds, Judge
William Scott and General Mosby Monroe Parsons. 65

Introduction
As part of the partnership between the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and a Certified Local
Government (CLG), the CLG is responsible for reviewing and commenting on all National Register of
Historic Places nominations for properties within its jurisdiction. In most cases, the SHPO receives a
nomination first and forwards the draft to the CLG for review and comment. The CLG may also develop
or receive the documentation necessary to nominate a property to the National Register. The LG must
then forward the nomination to the SHPO for subsequent review by staff and the Missouri Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation.
Commenting on Nominations:
The National Register of Historic Places nomination process requires public participation, so the review
of a National Register nomination should be placed on the preservation commission agenda.
Preservation commissions have an intimate knowledge of local history and resources, and should use
that knowledge to answer some basic questions about the property and the nomination:
• Using the National Register Criteria of Significance, is the property historically significant? (See
Missouri CLG National Register of Historic Places Nomination Review Report Form.)
• Does the property retain historic integrity? (See Missouri CLG National Register of Historic
Places Nomination Review Report Form.)
To the best of your knowledge, is the information in the nomination correct?
Does the nomination contain sufficient information to document the significance and integrity of
the property?
Following review, both the local commission and the chief elected official of the CLG shall inform the
SHPO and the property owner(s) of their separate opinions regarding the National Register nomination.
This is to be done within 60 days of receipt of the nomination data from the owner or the SHPO.
If one or both the local commission and chief elected official support the nomination or if no comments
are received, the SHPO will process the nomination according to federal guidelines. If both the local
commission and the chief elected official oppose the nomination, a letter or report outlining the reasons
for objection shall be forwarded to the SHPO. If both the local commission and chief elected official
object to the nomination, the property will not be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places
unless that decision is appealed by a property owner or interested party.
CLG Nomination Review Report Form
Attached is a review form that can be used to provide comments on National Register nominations to
the SHPO. Use of this form is not required and is provided only as a guide for providing comments and
recommendations.

Ok, Here is what I came up with.
I have rehabbed the commercial buildings on Capitol Avenue that sat vacant for over 7years some up to
11years. Although they were not all historic they were purchased as an investment in an historic area, with the
goal to change them and make them into an artistic complementary asset to the area. The venue encompasses a
historic look by showcasing the foundation of a historic building. My offices are in the historic building and the
intention is to bring it back to its original look as much as possible.
I am on the board of the Historic City of Jefferson which is in the process of rehabbing two historic
buildings. We have also been integral in getting the demolition ordinance passed protecting historic buildings.
I was actively involved in working to revive Capitol Avenue, with promoting and attending every meeting on
the Capitol Avenue rezoning and Overlay, as well and giving input on the streetscape that was done.
I attend every Housing Authority meeting to give input and public feedback on the blight study and
recommendation of buildings included in the blight study.
I am a big advocate of Capitol Avenue and MSP development. Anything and everything that happens with both
I try to be involved with.
I am on the Cultural Arts Commission. With that the Cultural Arts Commission, Avenue HQ (my business),
and Parks & Rec are promoting Porchfest which has a record of bringing revitalization to historic
neighborhoods. We are developing the first two this year with the intention of moving it every year to another
historic area to bring more awareness to those areas.
I think that is it for now…there are more buildings out there and there will be more to be done…

RE: Gregory Stockard Distinguished Service Award
Dear Mary:
I would like to nominate Jane Beetem for the Gregory Stockard Distinguished Service Award.
This award is presented to an individual(s) who has shown distinguished community service in
preservation efforts, and Jane is certainly worthy of that honor.
Before retiring recently, Jane Beetem worked for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources
for 25 years. There she spent 9 years as coordinator of the Missouri Historic Preservation
Revolving Fund and 16 years in the department's Director's Office, where she worked on
environmental review of federally funded projects including the Missouri State Penitentiary and
served two terms as Chair of the Midwest Radioactive Materials Transportation Committee. As
an independent Historic Preservation Consultant, Jane has completed more than 20
nominations to the National Register of Historic Places, adding at least 171 historic resources in
Jefferson City to the National Register. She and her husband, Jon, work to rehabilitate historic
properties on the east side of town, and have completed several total rehab projects.
Jane joined the Historic City of Jefferson Board of Directors in 2016 and has been an invaluable
resource of Jefferson City history, especially relating to properties. She currently chairs the
Revolving Fund Committee for our organization, and has been overseeing renovations at the
Historic City of Jefferson’s recently acquired property on Dunklin Street, built in 1915. She was
one of two HCJ Directors who have been instrumental in pursuing a lease agreement with the
Veteran’s Administration for renovation and rental of the Caretaker’s Cottage, circa 1870, at the
National Cemetery in Jefferson City when rumors revealed it might be slated for demolition.
She has been active in pursuing a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the
controversial School Street/McCarty Street neighborhood, conducting additional research and
making contacts, hoping to protect that area. She has also assisted Nancy Thompson, with the
city’s Cemetery Resources Board, in drafting a nomination for the National Register for the Old
City Cemetery. Jane is currently on the Board of the Jefferson City Fire Museum, as well.

Jane has shared her experience in renovating older properties at several public education
sessions for the Historic City of Jefferson. She is very knowledgeable about how to save and
preserve various original aspects of an older building, including walls, windows, architecture,
and the like. Her extensive knowledge and experience have greatly furthered the education,
awareness, and preservation of Jefferson City’s historic past.
Please consider her for this award.
Sincerely,
Tammy Boeschen
President

environment that makes preservation a central focus for future development in the City of

Hello again,
I forgot to mention in my Gregory Stockard Award nomination letter that in 2001, Jane Beetem, along with
Carol Blaney, founded the Neighborhood Reinvestment Foundation in 2001. The mission of this group was to
help renovate derelict buildings. Unfortunately, the support was not there and this foundation folded 2 years
later.
Thanks!

Hey Jayme,
Instead of spending a lot of time on my bio info, I've just attached a
presentation that I've presented to groups in our community, Lincoln University's

It's more info than the commission needs, but it shows the restoration of my two homes.
Slide 11 has my preservation involvement.
Slide 47 lists my awards.
Slide 13 explains the objectives of the LJCD guidelines that I helped to develop and pass
through City Council in August of 2001. Basically, anything new has to be built in
architectural character to the existing structures and exterior renovations can not detract
from the existing structures. The full guidelines are attached, too.
Slide 50 has my future endeavors. Capital Ave is now in the works and the demolition
ordinance passed. I now just have to see where we can go with an architectural salvage
program.
Oh, and last summer I started the Historic Southside Neighborhood Watch in the Old
Munichburg neighborhood.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

Capitol Avenue Art Project
In December 2017, the Cultural Arts Foundation proposed a project to create art to decorate the 8,
City-owned, black electric utility boxes along Cap itol Avenue. Discussion started in December 2017
with a committee of fourteen community members.* A variety of ideas were researched and discussed.
The art and layout ideas considered included provisions for utility areas on the boxes that cannot be
covered. The artwork of local artist, Mary Ann Hall representing entrances of buildings in the historic
district was accepted by the committee. A Power Point presentation was made to explain the project
to the Capitol Avenue Landmark League (CALL), as well. Several property and business owners, city
councilmen and the mayor who attended were very positive about the project.
Points considered for box design and layout
Challenges with powder coated metal boxes
Painting directly on boxes involved more preparation and cost
Alternative concept to use vinyl application involved less time and less cost
Long term capability of proposed art on vinyl
Art divided with 3" space between 2 door panels to accommodate opening
Appropriate art theme to represent historic district
Architecture elements to highlight entrances of buildings in hi storic district
Need for consistent art style
Vinyl specification
Same heavy-duty vinyl used for outdoor sign age
Can be laminated for additional protection
Solvents cannot be used to remove any graffiti
Low cost replacement expense
Box preparation and art application
Surface clean and temperature above 50 degrees
City will temporarily remove door handles for easier vinyl application
Team of 3 volunteers from committee will apply vinyl
Volunteers will paint chrome bolts in center area with black epoxy paint
Power Point exhibits
1 Line drawing art areas and measurements
2 Street side of box with panel doors without art
3 Street side art on 6 boxes with space shown between doors
4 Sidewalk side of box with ventilation flange without art
5 Sidewalk side-2 boxes with ventilation flange
6 Suggestion for future sidewalk side information panel
Completion goal
First week of May in time for the "Porch Fest" on Capitol Avenue, May 6
