Hofflin Cemetery...I contacted a few former and current residents of the area and have some comments to share. If you are familiar with the area, the directions will be helpful. Hofflin is between Bourbon and Leasburg (Crawford County, MO) on the Old Springfield Road (Old Highway 66), past, but near, the Kruse farm, close to the sharp bend of the road to go to the Graddy's place. It is also "east of the Feedlot restaurant that is now closed". Memories were that there used to be a Hofflin station, store and/or post office but they were "long gone" by the 1960's. Helen Wright surveyed cemeteries in Crawford Co and published a book of those records. Harmon & Helen Wright 406 S. Prairie St. Cuba, MO 65453 (573) 885-9680 Helen also has a quilting/craft shop in Cuba at (573) 885-7153.
