On a hilltop above a town that is now not much more than a post office. The only way up is a stone staircase set into the hillside.

Woodlock Cemetery sits on a hilltop above Davisville, Missouri, a place the original account describes as really nothing more than a post office.

The only way up to it is a stone staircase built into the hillside.

Figures and other things are reported there regularly, and one part of the circular ground produces most of it.

The staircase is the whole character of the site. Somebody cut steps into a hillside so that coffins and mourners could get up, and that took real labour from a community that did not have much to spare.

Davisville is in the Ozarks in Dent County, and the hills here emptied out through the twentieth century as the timber went and the young people left.

The cemetery is a burial ground and the climb is steep.
