John F. Dry was the first person buried in what was to be known later as the Dry Cemetery. He was buried on August 25, 1842 on a plot of land he owned. Mary Ann Dry, widow of Paul and daughter-in-law of John F. Dry decided to set aside the plot of land where her husband and children were buried. The area she reserved contains nearly one acre for burial and an access road. Mary Ann Dry conveyed the land by warrenty deed to Sarah Thornsberry and the Trustees of Holts Prairie Church. The deed was filed August 3, 1878 and can be found in the Perry County courthouse in Deed Record 4, page 556.
