Gordon Cemetery, Lohman, Cole County, Missouri Location: Hemstreet Road at Lohman, Cole County, Missouri; 5.1 miles west of Jefferson City on State Route C to Hemstreet Road, then .6 miles on Hemstreet Road or 6 miles east of Russellville to Hemstreet Road, then 1.3 miles on Hemstreet Road. Condition: This large cemetery was densely overgrown with trees, brush and yucca plants. Many stones were broken into two pieces, broken off at the base, or toppled from their bases. There were many deep depressions and parts of the ground had washed. The last death date recorded on a stone is 1919. The northern part of the cemetery according to local history was reserved for the burial of slaves. These grave sites were marked by field stones or family plots and individual graves were outlined with rocks. Many of these rocks had been scattered making it difficult to pick out individual graves. Restoration: February - October, 2001. Excess trees, brush, and yucca plants were removed. A generous donation by David Schneider allowed for the removal of the many stumps, hauling in topsoil to level the ground, and fencing the cemetery. The broken stones were repaired and new bases were poured if needed. The toppled stones were restored to their bases. Probing found ten additional stones that had not been previously recorded. Rededication: The Gordon family had a rededication ceremony on June 1, 2002. BECK, W.
