Barry County, Missouri Potter Cemetery, Jenkins Township (T24N-R26W-S24) Photo taken Oct 20, 1995 by Nora Eden Jenkins, Cannot be seen from road. Take 39 north out of Jenkins and turn left (west) on FR2011 you will see an old barn on the south side of the road and a house on the north side. Potter cemetery is behind the barn but before Flat Creek. OR From the intersection of 248 and FR 1215, go north on FR1215, in a short time the road will turn west and become FR 2105 (I don't think it is marked) then it will turn north again, then east and become FR2011. You will know the turns when you get to them, they are sharp. At this point you will see an old barn on the south side of the road and a house on the north side. Potter cemetery is behind the barn but before Flat Creek. Mowed and cared for on March 25, 2002 and you could drive to the cemetery gate on a mowed path. NOTE: The land where this cemetery is has been in the Eubanks Family for many generations. Nora Eden visited with the family in October 1997 and soon after returning home Mrs. Eubanks mailed an old transcription to Nora. Nora combined that transcription with photo evidence and as of May 2002 is still working on photos Click to view 27 Headstones too aged to read Name Born Died Note or Inscription Source ADAMS, Richard May 16,1834 Sept 29,1903 ---Headstone Photo Nora Eden CALL, Charles L.
