Barry County, Missouri Haddock Cemetery Roaring River Township ( T21N-R26W-S21 ) Transcribed Jan. 18, 2000 by Frankie (Carlin) Meyer Restoration and Photos courtesy of Marc & Pat Schwartz The Haddock Cemetery of southern Barry County can be located by taking Highway 112 south out of Roaring River. At Eagle Rock, turn right on Highway 86. Travel on Highway 86 until you reach Farm Road 1180. Take this road for 2 miles, and then turn left on Farm Road 2282. Drive down this winding, dirt road for .9 mile. At that point, there is a circle drive on the right. It leads to a new home that has cedar siding. The cemetery is in the woods about 150 feet behind the house. The people who own the land (Marc & Pat Schwartz) have cleared brush from the cemetery and removed leaves from the area around the graves! They have also cleared a path to it, and they placed rail fencing around the corners. It is in excellent condition, thanks to a huge effort by the new owners of the farm! Note from the owners: "We have the Haddock Cemetery on our land. My husband, Marc Schwartz has cleaned up more of the cemetery and moved the fence to include all of the graves that he could see. He also made 16 crosses and put them up where there were just field stones or just the indentations in the ground where the graves were. He left the field stones too. Sincerely, Pat Schwartz" There were 5 stones with the following engravings: *Mary A. HORINE, wife of E. Horine, died Nov 18, 1878, aged 63 years. At the end of her grave was a small footstone. *Marion BEAVER, son of F.M. & M. Beaver, born and died Oct. 20, 1875. It had this verse: 'Budded on earth to die in heaven.' He had a small footstone at the end of his grave. *One stone for the two infant daughters of Boon and C.C. HADDOCK. *Narcissus M. REED, 1st wife of George Reed, Sept. 30, 1847-May 17, 1877. It had this verse: 'Weep not shes at rest.' Her footstone was engraved: NMR. *One large stone for Boon and Columbia HADDOCK that was engraved with the name "Haddock." The footstone for Columbia was engraved: CC Haddock Jan 14, 1844--May 20, 1925; and the footstone for Boon was engraved: Boon Haddock, Dec. 12, 1843--May 5, 1919. The cemetery had three noticeable rows of graves and possibly a fourth row. There were at least 11 graves marked with fieldstones that had no engravings. A large oak was in the middle of the cemetery, and there were several smaller oaks scattered throughout the cemetery. © 1999 Susan Tortorelli All Rights Reserved
