Filed under:Hallowed ground

The record — long form

Southwest City is the cornered — the 'three states' that's the border's count, the 'Honey Creek' that's the town's first name. The 'Cherokee edge' is the lined — the 'Cowskin Prairie' that's the Nation's fields, the 'trading post' that's the settler's start. The 'both sides' is the buried — the 'Union' that's the markers' one, the 'Confederate' that's the other's kind.

The 'cattlemen' is the calmed — the 'entered peace' that's the change's sign, the 'trails' end' that's the town's role. The 'springs poured' is the watered — the 'hillsides' that's the crystal's source, the 'stream' that's the town's spine. Southwest City Cemetery is the kept — the 'well maintained' that's the ground's state, the 'veterans' that's the stones' marks.

The file keeps the cemetery: the cornered town, the Cherokee edge, the both-sides graves, and the poured springs.

Southwest City Cemetery is the archive's Missouri file — where the border's dead lie together.

Why this file matters

Southwest City Cemetery is the archive's Missouri file — the tri-state corner's dead.

A cemetery keeps its markers — the file's suggestion being that the ground's hold is the cornered: the 'three states' that's the border's count, the 'both sides' that's the war's dead, and the 'Honey Creek' that's the town's root.
