A Guide to the Daniels Cemetery

Underneath a gate on Airline Road at Milton Avenue in University Park lies a cemetery for Frances Sims Daniel’s descendants – including descendants living nearby and her children and grandchildren – tucked behind it is an undisturbed neighborhood filled with brick homes, shaded lawns and neat hedges – the cemetery being hidden behind this gate is often missed altogether.

Charlie Daniels uses the cemetery as an anchor of identity and place to share family stories, yet recently it has also become the target of vandalism and theft.

Early Life and Education

As a student, Daniels edited and ultimately acquired Wilson Advance newspaper in Wilson, North Carolina. Later he studied law before becoming an attorney.

He served as an editor and publisher of several other newspapers, such as the Kinston Free Press. Later he went into public service – even becoming White House press secretary during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency.

Gary Moore of UMSL Civil Engineering Department and students have been working towards the restoration of Greenwood Cemetery. This project is of particular significance, since Greenwood Cemetery houses Daniel Blue’s grave who helped found St Andrew’s African Methodist Episcopal Church nearby and who now rests under a large white obelisk – making him an invaluable National Historic Landmark.

At the service she received a folded flag from jail staff members as an act of appreciation; this she plans to display prominently in her office to remind herself of their contribution.
