"Many obituaries and death certificates show Linn Cemetery as burial when many times the burial is actually in South Linn. The two cemeteries actually connect somewhat midway between the Hickory and Elm Road sections, with no visible distinct boundary line." ~ Find-A-Grave
"Linn and South Linn Cemetery have both been a part of Wentzville, since the 1800s. Located off Church Street south of I70. It is the final resting place for many Wentzville Citizens, including William M. Allen, the founder of Wentzville. On Saturday, October 27, 2018 from 1pm to 4pm, the Wentzville Community Historical Society will offer tours of the cemeteries, which exist side by side and will highlight 10 former citizens." ~ Wentzville Community Historical Society
