Fewel-Blevins Cemetery, White Oak Township, Henry County, Missouri
aka: Fewel Cemetery

Location: T42, R28, S34 - 152 NW Hwy K
Landowner: James Belk
Indexed by:  Marie Dickinson, Feb 1 1976; Linda M. Everhart, Feb 24 1997; Diann 
Thomas, Nov 1998
Earliest Known Burial: 1852
Latest Known Burial: 1930
Directions: Four and one half miles south of Urich on Hwy K to NW150, lane to 
cemetery is opposite this junction on the east side of Hwy K.
History: It is said that James Fewel gave 52 feet of his property for the 
graveyard, thus giving it the name of Fewel Cemetery although no Fewel's are 
known to be buried here. Jackson M. Patt, owner of Cedar Mound Stock Farm, 
formerly located on the east side, is said to have given 45 feet of his property to the cemetery. For many years, Agrippa Valentine Clary was the owner of the 
property to the west. Up until the 1900's, the road from the north made a bend at 
the cemetery and continued around it on the east side. Robert Preston Blevins is 
buried here. In the early history books he was reported to have been the first 
white child born in what is now Henry County, in 1831. Further research, in 
addition to his own grave marker, proves his birth year was 1833. However, he 
was a very colorful character and his family was prominent in the settlement of 
the county.
Condition: Has been renovated and protected.
