Do you know of someone who was buried here and moved? 

If so, please let me know about the removal and to what cemetery they were removed to.

Pictured are Gerald Haddock, taking the GPS location and Gary Marbut, husband of Darla, who appears to be the inspector or supervisor of the job.

Old Washburn Cemetery, AKA: Sulherd Cemetery - In the 1940's there was a working rock quarry in the area of this cemetery. It was just down the hill from the Berryhill graves and a little to the east of where they are located.

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

The Old Washburn Cemetery may have been on what was then known as the A. C. Chadd place or the place south of his farm.  

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. Cemetery Shot

I was told that this was a grave of a Civil War Soldier. But I don't know if that information is factual or not. There used to be more of these graves here, but this is the only one left that has rocks on it.

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.  Another Photo - Another Photo - Another Photo
