These pictures are taken at the cemetery in Bloomfield, MO in early August of 2005. We accidentally found Jacob Cossairt's family grave plot while looking at the Stoddard County Confederate Veterans monument. Dad knew he was there, but had forgotten. For the rest of us, it was a real treat! We were also in this end of the cemetery because my Grandpa Harty was born nearby this end of the cemetery. Unfortunately, the house is since no longer to be found in the area. Must have been torn down...too bad.
Jacob Cossairt is the grandfather of Cora Elsie Carnall who married Ruben F. Harty II on 2 Apr 1905. He is my 3rd great grandfather, and was Captain of the Co. I of the 8th Missouri Cavalry State Militia, US during the War Between the States. I find it very humorous that he is buried half a stones throw from the Stoddard County Confederate Monument!

I had not forgotten where Jacob Cossairt was buried. But I did forget that the Cossairt family was buried across the road from Alfred Jack Carnall and his wife Mary Alice Cossairt, the daughter of Jacob Cossairt and his his wife Hettie Alcorn. I was also not aware that the Confederate Memorial Cemetery was so close to Jacob as I had never seen the memorial in person.
