Mount Mora Cemetery - St. Joseph, Missouri
Mount Mora Cemetery in St. Joseph, Missouri.
“ Mount Mora Cemetery
On April 1, 1846, Simeon Kemper obtained a United States government patent for one hundred sixty acres at $1.25 per acre. Four years later, Kemper took two partners, Israel Landis and Reuben Middleton, who paid him almost $200 per acre for their share of 20 acres destined to become a cemetery. On February 22, 1851, the men received approval of the Articles of Incorporation for Mount Mora Cemetery; four days later, they placed this advertisement in the St. Joseph Weekly Gazette:
“To the Public-the undersigned having purchased a lot of ground on the North West Corner of Mr. S. Kemper’s farm within one mile of the Court house, propose fitting it up as a cemetry provided sufficient encouragement is given to the undertaking by the citizens of St. Joseph. It is our intention to lay it off in Blocks and Lots of all sizes, so as to suit purchasers. The ground will be enclosed in a short time with a good substantial board fence, and otherwise improved.”
In 1873, W. Angelo Powell laid out Mount Mora Cemetery for 5,000. Powell, a prominent architect of the time, used the Rural Garden Cemetery design for Mount Mora. This form, new to the United States in 1831, is replicated in the cemetery’s planned landscaping, magnificent mausoleums, aesthetic design of Mausoleum Row, and curvilinear roads following the natural contours of the land.
Giants of St. Joseph commerce and industry, three Missouri governors, veterans of multiple wars, Pony Express riders, an English baronet, and individuals who strongly influenced the Westward Movement of the United States of America are among the thousands buried here.
Erected August 2004.”

The owner has let this property go for years. She has been fined and her cemetery license is in jeopardy. Help us spread the word. Families of the deceased are having to do the cleanup themselves.
Mausoleum Row at Mt Mora
This isn't one of my smoothest videos but it does show some very interesting design work that went into the mausoleums at Mt Mora Cemetery in St Joseph, Mo. Lots of Egyptian style architecture as well as Roman Greco styling. It's one of the most unusual and unique burial places in the United States. Lots of history in a very small space. I've been wanting to do this video for a very long time.
Mt Mora Mausoleum
All old cemeteries struggle with the same issue. More outgo than income. Some states support all their cemeteries with a special tax. That is not so for Missouri. Consequently, Mount Mora Cemetery is dependent upon donations, volunteers, and grants.
We are pleased to announce that Mount Mora Cemetery Preservation & Restoration Association most recently was awarded a second T.R.I.M. grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation. This matching grant will pay 70% of the cost of our next round of taking down or trimming dangerous trees. We will receive $10,000 and need $15,000 to complete this phase of the tree removal project.
Three Save Our Heritage grants from the Landmark Commission of the city of St. Joseph will assist us in restoring the McCord mausoleum, the Vanderlinde mausoleum, and the front porch of the 110-year-old superintendent's home on the property. These grants pay 33% of the total cost. We will receive $4,818 for the McCord mausoleum, but we need $14,818. We will receive $1,461 for the Vanderline mausoleum, but need $5,461. We will receive $3,033 for porch repair, but will need $10,033.
Donors interested in helping us raise the $26,000 needed for these four projects are asked to send their tax-deductible donations to Mount Mora Cemetery Preservation & Restoration Association at P. O. Box 1589, St. Joseph, MO 64502.

SUMMARY
=======
Missouri is a state in the Midwestern United States. With over six million residents, it is the 18th-most populous state of the Union. The largest urban areas are St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Columbia; the capital is Jefferson City, near the center of the state on the Missouri River. The state is the 21st-most extensive in area. In the South are the Ozarks, a forested highland, providing timber, minerals, and recreation. The Mississippi River forms the eastern border of the state.
Humans have inhabited the land now known as Missouri for at least 12,000 years. The Mississippian culture built cities and mounds, before declining in the 14th century. When European explorers arrived in the 17th century they encountered the Osage and Missouria nations. The French established Louisiana, a part of New France, and founded Ste. Genevieve in 1735 and St. Louis in 1764. After a brief period of Spanish rule, the United States acquired the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Americans from the Upland South, including enslaved African Americans, rushed into the new Missouri Territory. Missouri was admitted as a slave state as part of the Missouri Compromise. Many from Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee settled in the Boonslick area of Mid-Missouri. Soon after, heavy German immigration formed the Missouri Rhineland.
Missouri played a central role in the westward expansion of the United States, as memorialized by the Gateway Arch. The Pony Express, Oregon Trail, Santa Fe Trail, and California Trail all began in Missouri. As a border state, Missouri's role in the American Civil War was complex and there were many conflicts within. After the war, both Greater St. Louis and the Kansas City metropolitan area became centers of industrialization and business. Today, the state is divided into 114 counties and the independent city of St. Louis.
Missouri's culture blends elements from the Midwestern and Southern United States. The musical styles of ragtime, Kansas City jazz, and St. Louis Blues developed in Missouri. The well-known Kansas City-style barbecue, and lesser-known St. Louis-style barbecue, can be found across the state and beyond. St. Louis is also a major center of beer brewing; Anheuser-Busch is the largest producer in the world. Missouri wine is produced in the nearby Missouri Rhineland and Ozarks. Missouri's alcohol laws are among the most permissive in the United States. Outside of the state's major cities, popular tourist destinations include the Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock Lake, and Branson.
Well-known Missourians include U.S. President Harry S. Truman, Mark Twain, Walt Disney, Chuck Berry, and Nelly. Some of the largest companies based in the state include Cerner, Express Scripts, Monsanto, Emerson Electric, Edward Jones, H&R Block, Wells Fargo Advisors, and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Missouri has been called the Mother of the West and the Cave State; however, Missouri's most famous nickname is the Show Me State.
