Many graves were removed and probably most of them were taken to Washburn Prairie.

At one time, there were a lot of real old graves makers here. The cemetery was not in good shape, even before the removal. Access was from the old wire road - through a gate - then up the hill by foot. Now since the rock quarry work access can be gained by driving up another road by a new house and chicken house and then up the hill. The new house sits near where a rail road house was in the early 1940's

On Section 33 and down the road from J.D. Berryhill's 60 acres was a mill near by, located on the Westmoreland property. J. D. Berryhill's land was located in this section and was west of the railroad that leaves Washburn and goes south.

The railroad was down the hill to the east and toward what is now Hwy 37. Old Washburn Cemetery sits back up on the hill from where the Old Wire Road crossed the tracks and that there meets with Hwy 37.

Clara (Hancock) Berryhill was buried there May 28, 1925, by an infant that was already buried there and who was named Leland Berryhill and who died April 28, 1901.

There are no other Berryhill graves there.

I used to jump from one grave to the other and see if I could land on these flat rocks when I was a kid. I don't know how many graves were here like this but, I think, that there were several.

I was told that these were the graves of Civil War Soldiers. But I don't know if that information is factual or not.

Sallie was nee Cargile, daughter of John and Emeline [Eubank) Cargile.
