Henry Hadley Cemetery John Hadley Cemetery Hadley Stones - Repair Work Deed for John & Sarah |
| This note was posted before the restoration began: There are two Hadley Cemeteries back in a field and can't be seen from each other. They are separated by two fields, both grown up
with weeds and open to the cattle.The cemeteries are a real mess. Trees rotting and falling apart, ground covered with leaves
and debris. All of the stones were laying on the ground and off their bases. This was posted in 1999 and the above photo was
taken in 2007. In August 2001 the weeds were over the hood of the truck and cows were everywhere so if you are in a car visit in
the spring or fall when the weeds are down.
Directions: Take 37 south out of Butterfield or north out of Cassville and turn west on FR2150. Cross FR1085 then the Railroad tracks. Right after crossing the RR, there is a private gate into a pasture. You need to go through numerous some gates and across some pastures. Follow This map The John Hadley and the Henry Hadley Cemeteries are located at opposite corners of a pasture. The Hadley house was on the John Hadley property. |
