Pratt Cemetery Kansas

Pratt Cemetery
AKA Prather Cemetery
Drum Creek Township, Montgomery County Kansas

Canvassed by Gene and Jo Crabtree 10/1/2004 and submitted October 12, 2004.

I have found evidence that the Cemetery was originally on what was known as "Jolley Farm".

This cemetery is nicely groomed and well cared for, it is located in what was known as Drum Creek Township
My husbands family are the Dart's

There are other gravesites that are obviously sunken and several markers broken and unreadable

Driving directions:
Heading east out of Independence on Highway 160 drive approx. 2 miles, turn left on paved county road 4500, the cemetery is almost exactly 1/2 mile on the right.
