:: Deed for Pemberton (Thornsberry) Cemetery in Hawkeye, Mo ::
William Pemberton deeded a one acre plot of his personal land for use as a family cemetery in Hawkeye, Mo., off BB Hwy. Though this cemetery is commonly referred to as Thornsberry Cemetery, it's official and proper name is Pemberton Cemetery. For many years Sarah Ann (Pemberton) Benes, William grand-daughter took responsiblity for the care of the cemetery, going so far asto install a culvert so visitors could easily get to the cemetery and replacing headstones that were either unreadable or broken.
The original deed was found in the possession of my grandfather, Larry Joe Sanders, at his passing. It reads:
"This Indenture, made on the 20th of November, 1893, by and between William Pemberton and Lucinda O. Pemberton, his wife, of Pulaski County, Missouri, parties of the first part and the County Court in the county of Pulaski in the state of Missouri part 4 of the second part:
