Philomath

This reading is taken from two books.  One done by the DAR during the Great Depression, the other done in  1981-1982.  All of these name were found in the DAR book..  The ones in RED are the stones that were left in the 1980's.  This cemetery has deteriorated badly.

 

The instructions for three cemeteries - Cedar Grove, Ranck and Philomath - are just about the same.  Go 44 west from Liberty.  Go into Fayette County.  Go by the white fenced farms (north side of road).  Cross roads that say Alquina Springersville Lyonsville.  Turn right (north) toward Springersville.  Follow this road north many miles.  You will come to a 4 way stop where the road narrows in front of you.  To your right hand side (East) will be a large white Round Barn (about 1/8 mile)  Turn Right.  Follow this road past the white barn to where it T's.

Turn North (left) go two roads north and turn back east (Right) Philomath Cemetery is on your right hand side (south) back off the road and IT IS NOT MOWED!
