UNITED STATES SENATOR
1841-1853
 
Senator Samuel McRoberts

Senator McRoberts is in a small graveyard at the edge of a field near Waterloo - the last place one would expect to find a buried Senator. A granite monument, about eight feet tall, lists the names of many early residents of the area who are buried here, including Senator McRoberts.

I found Moores (or Moore) cemetery at sunset. The gate was locked, and I was not able to enter - I could only photograph the monuments through the fence.
