In February of 2025, Audrey Pinson, a student from the University of Missouri School of Journalism, heard about the project and contacted Dorris Keeven-Franke, Project Director, wanting to know more. The result was a small documentary that tells a huge story! Interviews with Barbara Love, a descendant of Benjamin Ogelsby, and those working on the project share their love for this nearly forgotten cemetery that contains a lot of history. For those who were unable to join us, we would love to share!
