My roots to back to Old Linn Creek and then on to New Linn Creek where my Dad grew up. I recognize some of the family names you've menturned as I was lucky to spend time in Linn Creek at my Grandma Gertrude Evaline Ford Caltons. I, too have great grandparents and other family buried at the Old Linn Creek Memorial Cemetery. Reading these comments I've noted the one from John Wilson mentioning an Old Erie Cemetery which I need to check into as I'm still searching where Eleanor Spencer Ford and Jesse Ford rest in peace. Also wondered if John might be related to Oran Wilson? I have wonderful memories of Oran.<br />SherryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114134263408254890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828159045163586461.post-85460539479652568692018-01-19T11:38:42.438-08:002018-01-19T11:38:42.438-08:00My mother-in-law, Lena Bland (maiden name) lived i...My mother-in-law, Lena Bland (maiden name) lived in old Linn Creek, as a girl and her father, Andrew Bland had a heat stroke at a young age which left him in a wheelchair. Her mother, Nancy, washed clothes for others to earn a living. They had to move when the Lake took Linn Creek, but she told me many stories of her childhood there.

I made a documentary movie, Whispering Waters, about Old Linn Creek some years back, If you haven't seen it you can borrow it from the County Library or order the DVD on eBay. It contains many<br />interviews with folks who actually remembered OLC. The movie was mostly made in the 1990s. <br /><br />You spoke of finding records in the Old Court House, the old Camden Count court house which was in OLC was destroyed along with the rest of the town in 1928. The cemetery you visited was never relocated. It is the original Old Linn Creek cemetery, built on a hill high above the town of Linn Creek becausewhose residents were concerned about occasional flooding of the Osage River. Prior to the town of Old Linn Creek, the town was called Erie, Old Erie was moved up the river a mile further from the river to a new location and re-named Linn Creek after the creek than ran through the town. The Old Erie Cemetery still exists and is not far from the Old Linn Creek Cemetery. <br /><br />When the Lake was created OLC was destroyed and burned, a few houses moved. Some of the residents moved up the little creek 3 miles to form a new town but this time they kept the name of Linn Creek. A larger group from OLC moved a bit further and created a new town which they named Camdenton.<br /><br />Hope this was Helpful. You might also find OLC info. at the Morgan County Museum.<br /><br />Hope this was helpful.<br /><br />John L.
