The cemetery is located several miles west of South West City, Missouri. Named for Dr. William D. Polson, and for the Polsons; their related families, which include The Ridge, Stand Watie, the Bells, etc. Washborne's and Washbourne's are buried here and they are all of the same family; a branch decided to renew the "old World" spelling i.e. Washbourne. Many of these people were related, and of the Cherokee Nation by blood heritage.

& Sarah Northrup; Killed at home on Honey Crk. by Union- led Cherokees Benediction: "Now therefore keep thy sorrow to thyself and bear with a good courage that which hath befallen thee...The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God and there shall no torment touch them. In the sight of the unwisethey seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery and their going from us to be utter destruction; but they are in peace. For though they be punished in the sight of men yet is their hope full of immortaility. And having been a little chastised and found them worthy for Himself they shall be greatly rewarded: For God proved them." |
