Sorry for so many cemeteries back to back but they are all interesting! Little Flock is a special cemetery in that it holds something that I had never seen before, a glass casket! An unmarked grave of a baby lays in the back of the Little Flock cemetery and holds the remains of what was once someone's precious baby. This cemetery was found by mistake but nevertheless an interesting find. Not much can be seen today, however I spoke with the post master at a local post office and she said her husband used to roam that area hunting and he would never forget seeing the small child. Today one can hardly make out bones but it is an interesting find! Apparently this was common, however, this is the first time I have ever seen a cemetery plot covered with glass!
The Little Flock Cemetery is located just south of Foster, take highway 29 and turn south on Hwy 76 towards Purnell. There are 3 sets of bridges about 3 miles south of 29, just over the bridge take the first left possible. The cemetery is about 4-5 miles east off this road. There is a white sign by the highway and a pull in to park, but the gate is locked so you must walk about 1/4th of a mile up a gravel road.
