HISTORICAL NOTES

The United States Army Corps of Engineers dates back to the Colonial period and the Continental Congress. The Corps has grown significantly since then and is responsible for many flood prevention and control projects throughout the United States. The United States Department of Defense oversees the Corps.

Most of Missouri is covered through the Kansas City District, which is part of the Northwestern Division. The Mississippi River region of Missouri falls under the Rock Island District and St. as of 10/22/2018 U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS COLLECTION, MS492

Louis District of the Mississippi Valley Division. (Historically, the state fell under the Missouri River Division until that division was combined with the North Pacific in April 1997 to create the NW Division.) Divisions are arranged by watersheds and river basins.

The Northwestern Division’s “primary civil works missions encompass flood damage reduction, navigation, hydropower, fish and wildlife, water quality, irrigation, recreation, and disaster response. Within its jurisdiction are 77 dams and reservoirs, 29 hydropower plants, and 1,600 miles of navigable channels.” (Quoted from http://www.nwd.usace.army.mil/About/History/ on 10/4/2018)

The records in this manuscript collection primarily focus on cemetery assessments and removals necessitated by the construction of dams and reservoirs.

HARRY S. TRUMAN DAM AND RESERVOIR HISTORICAL NOTES

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Kaysinger Bluff Dam and Reservoir project was signed into law on September 3, 1954 as the River and Harbor Flood Control Act of 1954. The bill authorized the project that would dam the Osage River with the purpose of flood control. The dam would be located on the River at a site called Kaysinger Bluff in Benton County, Missouri. However, funding for the project would not come for nearly a decade. The total cost ended up at over $500 million.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site on October 9, 1964. (See MS192 for photographs of the groundbreaking.) Six years later the project was re-named in honor of Missouri native and former President to the Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir. The Dam began operating in 1979.

The lake that would result from the dam would flood parts of Benton, Hickory, Henry, and St. Clair Counties. The potential flooded areas needed to be examined closely by the Corps with regard to personal property, roads, railroads, utility lines, towns, cemeteries and other structures. The flood contour was measured at 742 feet. Anything at or below that level needed to be assessed for potential removal.

The bulk of the materials in this collection concern cemetery assessments and removals. Approximately 112 cemeteries were investigated for this project. At least 45 of those cemeteries were at or below flood pool levels, were disinterred and then reinterred in new locations.

The Corps split the cemeteries that would have to be moved to new locations into five plans.

Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir Records: “Old Jont” Gravesite, 1967

Arrangement: N/A

Scope and Content

[No Tract No.] = Section 4 T37N R22W, Hickory County [?]

Folk history in Hickory County tells of the grave of a former slave nicknamed “Old Jont” who died in 1867 and was buried at Williams’ Bend on the Pomme de Terre River. Prior to emancipation, he was owned by Josiah Dent. His burial site is supposed to be marked with a stone. The correspondence below states that the Corps determined that the grave should remain in place. However, that is second-hand information. No other records of the gravesite are contained in this collection. For further reading:

Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir Records: Papinville Cemetery, 1960-1988

Arrangement: By type, then chronological

Scope and Content

Tract No. 9742E = NW¼ of SE¼ of Section 16 T38N R30W, Bates County

Papinville Cemetery (sometimes misidentified as Papinsville or Pappinsville) contained an estimated 286 marked graves with another estimated 100+ unmarked. A small portion of the Cemetery was measured to be below the 742 contour mark (Tracts 1 and 2), but most of it above the flood pool. Tracts 1 and 2 had no marked burials and the Corps recommended that the Bates County Court allow no future burials in those two sections. (See correspondence beginning 05/28/1969 in Box 218 Folder 42 below.) The City signed an easement in 1979 verifying they would not use that part of the Cemetery.

Papinville Cemetery flooded in 1951, decades prior to the construction of Truman Dam. The Corps took this into consideration when making their recommendation that the Cemetery remain in place. The County Court advocated against disinterment and signed a statement to that effect. The year 1986 was also very heavy with rain, and the Cemetery flooded in October. Complaints were made to the Corps, but the Corps produced the paperwork from 1969-1979 proving that it was the will of the people of Papinville to leave the Cemetery intact.

Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir Records: Shawnee Cemetery, 1964-1973

Arrangement: By type, then chronological

Scope and Content

[No Tract No.] = NE¼ of NW¼ of Section 18 T40N R22W, Benton County

Shawnee Cemetery (aka Shawnee Bend) is a new cemetery created to be a relocation site for several small, disinterred cemeteries. It was named after Shawnee Bend Road, but eventually came to be called just Shawnee. A small, existing cemetery and church were already present on the property, but the additional land utilized by the Corps greatly increased the size of the cemetery. Approximately 1,200 graves were relocated to the new Shawnee Cemetery.

Relocation work began in June 1965 during Plan A. Shawnee Cemetery Association was incorporated that year and maintenance and ownership of the Cemetery was turned over to the Association. Reinternments came from: Balliette, Cooper, Cunningham A and B, Davenport, Downing, Failer, Fairfield, Graham, Henderson, Hogles Creek, Jones, Kenny, Kinkead, L.P. Union (Weaver), McNeely, Monroe, Park, Peal Bend, Stewart, Tomahawk, Wisdom, and Wright A and B Cemeteries.

Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir Records: Tebo Church Cemeteries, 1960-1982

Arrangement: By type, then chronological

Scope and Content

Old Tebo Church = Tract No. 2532C = N½ of S½ of NE¼ of Section 10 T41N R24W, Henry County New Tebo Church = [No Tract No.] = Section 11 T41N R24W, Henry County

During the first field survey of Tebo Church Cemetery (aka Tebo Baptist) in 1960, 432 marked graves were noted as well as an estimated 150 unmarked. By 1971, that number had been revised to 685 total graves, making it the largest cemetery to be removed for the Truman Dam and Reservoir project. The removal of interred bodies was caught up in the courts for a few years, and although the plan for removal was approved in 1969, the actual reinternment did not occur until around 1973 as part of Plan C. For a name-by-name listing of tombstones, see Box OB52 Folder 2.

The new site for Tebo Baptist Church and its cemetery was not far from the original plot: only about one mile. The church building itself was moved by the Tebo Baptist Church. The Corps was responsible for the cemetery. New Tebo Church Cemetery received all but a few of the removals from Old Tebo Church as well as those from nearby Carleton and Chastain Cemeteries. The remaining graves from Old Tebo that did not go to New Tebo went instead to Englewood, Laurel Oak, Calhoun, Lowry City, Park’s Chapel, Shady Grove, and Riverside Cemeteries. The removals from Old Tebo were completed by the government’s contract recipient The Big Wheel, Inc. out of Angier, North Carolina.

Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir Records: Wisner Cemeteries, 1960-1979

Arrangement: By type, then chronological

Scope and Content

Tract No. 5302-2C = S¼ of Lot 3 of NW¼ of Section 18 T38N R24W, St. Clair County Tract No. 5315 = NE¼ of Section 12 T38N R25W, St. Clair County Tract No. 5411-2C = SW¼ of SW¼ of Section 25 T38N R25W, St. Clair County Tract No. 5420-3C = NW¼ of Section 19 T38N R24W, St. Clair County

The Corps surveyed four cemeteries in the Truman Reservoir area called “Wisner.” To keep them straight, they will be referred to by their tract number.

Tract No. 5302-2C (sometimes referred to as Wisner I or marked as 5303-2C), contains two marked graves and an undetermined number of unmarked. The joint monument was marked John Wisner (04/13/1841-12/27/1893) and Minerva C. Wisner (08/16/1846-06/25/1923). The graves were fenced in, but the area was overgrown with vines and weeds. The Corps recommended that the cemetery remain in place and remain fenced in. The Corps originally planned for this plot to be surrounded by Missouri Conservation Commission (now Department (MDC)) land, but it never did come to the MDC; the Cemetery is on the east shore of the Reservoir, and Weaubleau Creek State Wildlife Area is on the west and south shores. For additional information, see Design Memorandum No. 12 and No. 51 in Box 217 Folders 6 & 8. See also general correspondence in Box 217 Folder 2 dated 10/19/1967 and Folder 3 dated 04/24/1979, 05/21/1979 and 08/21/1979.

Tract No. 5315 contains five fieldstones and an undetermined number of unmarked graves. The 50’ square plot had been fenced in, but the fence was damaged and cattle could enter the grounds. The Corps recommended that the cemetery remain in place and a new fence be constructed. See also general correspondence in Box 217 Folder 2 dated 10/19/1967.

Tract No. 5411-2C (sometimes referred to as Wisner (McConnell)) has 25 marked graves (18 of which have legible headstones) and an estimated 40 unmarked. These graves were relocated primarily to Bear Creek Church Cemetery as part of Plan D. Connell Construction Co. of Armour, SD handled the disinterment and reinternment. See also general correspondence in Box 217 Folder 3 dated 09/03/1976.

Tract No. 5420-3C (sometimes referred to as Wisner II), contains five fieldstones, one footstone with initials “S.C.T.,” and an undetermined number of unmarked graves. The Corps recommended that the cemetery remain in place and be fenced in. This plot is either next to or inside land owned by the MDC as Weaubleau Creek State Wildlife Area. For additional information, see Design Memorandum No. 12 and No. 51 in Box 217 Folders 6 & 8. See also general correspondence in Box 217 Folder 2 dated 10/19/1967.

LONG BRANCH DAM AND RESERVOIR HISTORICAL NOTES

The Long Branch Dam and Reservoir project was a relatively small project (compared to Truman Dam) by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Macon County, MO. Its purpose was to provide flood control, water storage, wildlife habitat, and recreation.

The Corps built an earthen dam on the East Fork Little Chariton River, which resulted in Long Branch Reservoir. Early estimates placed the project cost at $9,167,000. It ended up costing over $20 million. The Dam was completed in the late 1970s and the Reservoir took a few years to reach full levels. Long Branch Reservoir (aka Long Branch Lake) also serves as the public drinking water source for Macon.

In the early 1980s, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources acquired the land surrounding the Reservoir and created Long Branch State Park. Adjoining Atlanta Conservation Area, owned by the Missouri Department of Conservation, is at the north end of the Reservoir.

LONGVIEW LAKE HISTORICAL NOTES

Longview Lake (aka Longview Reservoir) is a lake created by impounding the Little Blue River in Jackson County, MO. Initial estimates projected that the project would cost over $39 million.

The Lake received its name from nearby Longview Farm, a showpiece farm formerly owned by the Long family. Most of the Farm’s 40+ buildings were above flood pool levels, but some of them were measured at below flood pool. The Corps sold off the buildings below flood levels for $1 each, provided the purchaser reconstruct the building to preserve its heritage. The Farm was perhaps the most controversial aspect of the project because it was eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. In fact, 17 of its buildings were added to the Register in 1985.

The area around Longview Lake is now owned by Jackson County Parks and Recreation and goes by the name Longview Lake Park.

POMME DE TERRE DAM AND RESERVOIR HISTORICAL NOTES

The Pomme de Terre Dam and Reservoir covers Hickory and Polk Counties, Missouri. The project was approved in 1938, but funding was not allocated until nearly 20 years later. The Dam is part of the Osage River Basin. It is the first construction project to be completed that was part of the 1954 River and Harbor Flood Control Act for the Basin.

The rock- and earth-filled dam was placed at the confluence of Lindley Creek and the Pomme de Terre River. Normal lake levels are around 815 feet with a crest elevation of 906 feet. Total cost of construction was $17,036,306 (1957-1986).

SMITHVILLE DAM AND LAKE HISTORICAL NOTES

Smithville Dam was built on the Little Platte River near the town of Smithville, Clay County, MO. It is in the Platte River Basin and Watershed. Initial estimates placed the cost at roughly $21 million. The primary purpose of Smithville Dam was flood control, with a public water supply and recreation as secondary considerations. The Lake covers parts of Clay and Clinton Counties. Smithville Dam is constructed of rolled earth and is 4,000 feet long. Flood pool levels were gauged at 876.2 feet.

Smithville Lake adjoins several public use areas, including Trimble Wildlife Management Area, Smithville Lake State Wildlife Area, Crows Creek Campground, Camp Branch Campground, and Honker Cove Waterfowl Refuge.

STOCKTON DAM AND RESERVOIR HISTORICAL NOTES

Stockton Dam was built on the Sac River in West Central Missouri, affecting parts of Cedar, Dade and Polk Counties. The land and water lie in the Osage River Basin. The Dam was constructed initially for the purpose of flood control, but later hydroelectric power, wildlife management, public drinking water and recreation were added to the project’s goals. Initial projected cost of the project was $51 million; actual costs topped $73 million.

Some of the land surrounding Stockton Lake is designated to various public use areas: Stockton Public Use Area, Old Mill Public Use Area, Crabtree Cove Public Use Area, Stockton State Park, Hawker Point Public Use Area, Mutton Creek Public Use Area, and Greenfield Public Use Area. A majority of the land surrounding the south arms (Big Sac) and the east arms (Little Sac) of Stockton Lake is leased to the Missouri Department of Conservation as the Stockton Lake Management Lands.

The potential flooded areas needed to be examined closely by the Corps with regard to personal property, roads, railroads, utility lines, towns, cemeteries and other structures. The flood contour was measured at 867 feet. Anything at or below that level needed to be assessed for potential removal. The bulk of the materials in this collection concern cemetery assessments and removals.
