Hello All, Thought you might want to know that my husband has several family members buried in Freedom Cemetery, which is north and east of Callao, Macon County, MO. We have been there. Although the cemetery is now overgrown, it is fenced. Access to it is difficult due to a spring in the road... on a hill top, no less! We are hoping to get back to this cemetery again next month, after (hopefully) the poison ivy has died back some for the winter. My sister-in-law took a reading of the cemetery several years ago, but cannot now find the notebook in which she recorded the names on the stones. I can tell you, however, that their grandfather, George Henry KOEHLER (10 May 1871-24 Mch 1903) is buried there, as are a couple more of my husband's family. IF we do get there next month, I'll take a reading of any of the stones that we can read and then report it here. Leslie (Bridges) Kohler Glendale, AZ and Carrollton, MO
When were you there? I was there in September and the cemetery was mowed and the road freshly graded. Very easy access for a dirt road. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leslie & Gary Kohler" <Aug67@att.net> To: <MOMACON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 13, 2002 9:46 PM Subject: [MOMACON] Freedom Cemetery Report > Hello All, > > Thought you might want to know that my husband has several family > members buried in Freedom Cemetery, which is north and east of > Callao, Macon County, MO.
