BUTLER COUNTY MISSOURI whitworth daeton harwell cemetery Copyright 1997, 2001 by Betty Hanks and Terry McLean, tmclean@earthlink.net. ) WHITWORTH CEMETERY (#9) also known as DEATON or HARWELL T26N R6E SEC 20 Map #3? (listed as ‘Harwell’ on USGS map) On the USGS map this is marked as HARWELL Cemetery, but locally is more commonly known as the WHITWORTH cemetery. Elias Whitworth used to cross this hill on his way to town, and always said this is where he wanted to be buried. While Elias was yet living, a neighbor boy died and was actually the first to be buried here, but Mr. Whitworth was the second. There are many more graves that no longer have legible markers. Most of the cemetery is overgrown, except for where the FREER family are buried, and their descendants keep that portion cleared. RILEY, John G. 13 Mar 1830 - 10 Mar 1914 RILEY, Tenny?
