I was born, raised, and presently live in the Dry Valley, Wentworth, and Pierce City, MO area.

It has been my pleasure to be involved with The Dry Valley Cemetery Association since 1992.

The Asssociation was formed in 1980 with the following officers: Ramon E. Carver, President; Flossie Hagebusch Arnold, Vice President; Edith Hagebusch Rimmer, Sec/Treasurer.

Persons attending the organizational meeting:
Edith Rimmer, Byrl B. Carver, Ramon E. Carver, Milton Robb, Flossie Arnold, Henry Earl Hagebusch, Earl Wayne Hagebusch, Gladys Hagebusch Hardy, Mildred Hagebusch Honsinger, Bessie Lawyer Wight, John Wight, Ray Robb, Dorothy Ann Eoff Swar, and Norma Tollet.

It is important to preserve the history of Dry Valley and the people who lived in or near the community. I will continue to add bios as time allows.

Each Memorial and Veterans Day a large American flag is on the cemetery flag pole and individual American flags are placed on each veteran's grave. Through research I have learned we have 4 additional graves to decorate in 2010. Veteran service ranges from the War of 1812 to modern times. It is a pleasure to honor our vets.

There are many unmarked graves within the cemetery. Many years ago field stone markers were removed and discarded by an individual mowing the cemetery. Every effort is being made to indentify each individual through use of death certificates, funeral director records, and personal knowledge. If you can contribute information regarding any person especially those buried in unmarked graves, please email me or leave a message.
