As of 1978 I still considered Roanoke a town. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.31694&lon=-92.68861&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l Perhaps it has gone downhill since then.

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I often see people refer to the "old Higbee Cemetery" when in fact there is only one......what was once the Hines family cemetery was purchased by the city of Higbee in l892/93 and became the city cemetery with, of course, additions in later decades, but it is still the only one.
