Ramblin' With Jennie by Jennie Vertrees
We're continuing today wit cemeteries in Lindley Township (Mercer County, MO)
We'll start with Fogelman Cemetery, go six miles west of Princeton on Highway 136 to Highway B and turn right on B. Follow B to the third lettered blacktop highway to the left. It is about 11-12 miles from 136. Go left on Highway T to Saline, where it becomes gravel and turns left for a short distance and turns left for a short distance and then back west or right. Go about a mile and the road will make a turn to the left (south). There will be 2 curves in the road and then it turns west or to the right. Keep going west past the intersection and the cemetery is on the left side of the road. It is abandoned and overgrown, but has about 39 marked graves, 20 of which are infants or young children. This is one of the few cemeteries in the county I have not visited. The exact location of the cemetery is not clear.
The oldest marked grave is that of Andrew J. Osborn, who shares a stone with a toddler sister. They were the children of C. and L. Osborn. Andrew died August 29, 1867 aged 1 y 2 m 7 d. The latest date on a tombstone is that of James M. Pittman in 1947. The last burial before his was in 1923. The only known veteran in this cemetery is a Ciovil War soldier named Salem R. Pittman.
