None that I know within 1 mile, but quite a few within 2 miles:

Chapman Cemetery - Callaway County - GNIS had this mistakenly listed as Chatman Cemetery.
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.03167&lon=-91.66028&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l
Distance = 1.95 miles.
Direction = SW (216 degrees)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Martinsburg Cemetery - Audrain County -
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.08194&lon=-91.64694&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l
Distance = 1.93 miles.
Direction = NNW (348 degrees)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Todd Cemetery - Callaway County - THIS MAY NOT BE
THE CORRECT LOCATION:
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.05056&lon=-91.67333&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l
Distance = 1.84 miles.
Direction = W (261 degrees)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3 records


Sounds like you might already know about some of these.
