Hitt Cemetery
Cape Girardeau County, Missouri

Welch Twp Section 14
Lat: 37°10'32"N, Lon: 89°48'08"W

Contributed by Valerie Holifield, Aug 22, 2002 [theholifields@sbcglobal.net]. Total records = 75.

To reach from Arbor MO drive SW on Hwy 25 for a very short distance, and turn right on county road 262, then a quick right onto 261, continuing north for little over a mile. The cemetery is on your right, or the south side of the Rd 261 shortly after the road angles east and before road swerves back north again.

Seems to be accepting new burials. There are some individuals which have stones but no death dates and are possibly still living.

Transcription is complete to my knowledge except for three stones that were completely unreadable. I compiled at the cemetery Aug 07, 2002.
