The land that Shaver Cemetery is part of (land that) was first purchased in 1850 by a Mr. Samuel Dillard from the UnitedStates Land Office in Booneville, Missouri.

In about 1856, John Godfrey Shaver and his wife, Pollie Ann Peters Shaver, came to Missouri from Illinois and purchasedthe farm. In May of 1880, they deeded one acre to Adair County for the Shaver Cemetery. They lived the rest of their livesthere and many of them and their descendants are buried in this grave yard as well as many from neighboring farms andfamilies.

A substantial gift for the care of the Cemetery was left by the late Mrs. Edith Bell. Her parents are buried there. Thisencouraged friends and relatives to form an Association for the Perpetual Care of the graves. This was accomplished inSeptember of 1979 and Mr. Homer I. Johnson was elected as President. He has donated his time and labor to the upkeepof this Cemetery for many years.

Thereby forming a square. Each section isdivided into 100 plots which have been assigned the Roman numerals I-X; which conveys the upper portion of thesection. The numbers 20-11 (begins at top of section and continues downward) represent the plots situated in sections A& B. The numbers 10-1 (begins at top of section and continues downward) represent the plots situated in sections C & D.Thereby giving one the exact location of the plot.
