The official website of the Rush Ridge Cemetery Association

Rush Ridge Cemetery is the cemetery of the former Rush Ridge Methodist Church, located approximately two miles northeast of the town of Wyatt, in Mississippi County, Missouri. In broader terms it is about three miles into Missouri from the point where the Mississippi and Ohio rivers join.

Today, Rush Ridge Cemetery is cared for by the Rush Ridge Cemetery Association, a non-profit charitable institution which has as its sole objective the care and maintenance of the cemetery.

The Association welcomes all persons who want to join in caring for the cemetery. We also desire to assist those seeking to locate the burial sites of their ancestors. We have provided information for both purposes below. If you would like additional information beyond what we have on the website, please feel free to contact us.

Amy Swank Berry's children purchased a new sign and replaced the old one. See the before and after photos below.
