See p. 111 GBNF: 'Near Hamburg, on
bluff overlooking Wards Hollow. There were many people
buried in this cemetery.' Only one stone remains -- the farmer stacked
the stones against the fence earlier. Richard was the son of
Thomas Pitman, and married Lucinda hutchings -settled St. Charles
County in 1811. (see p.179-80 Pioneer Families of Missouri).
Cemetery #21 on Pitman list in 1941, which also lists this single stone
remaing.
