Special thanks to D.R. Kenerly and Gene Beals for the following headstone photos.
 
The Kennerly family is laid to rest in Section 14, Lot #8 of Calvary Cemetery. This family is relative to the Augustin Kennerly who was sub-agent to the Senecas in 1832 while General William Clark was Superintendent of Indian affairs. Kennerly's journal came into possession of my 2nd great grandfather, Thomas A. Moore who was married to Clarissa Pilcher, whose great uncle was Joshua Pilcher. The Kennerly Diary was donated to the Missouri Historical Society and is filed in the Thomas Anderson Moore Collection.
