Alfonso and BorderWalker knew where it was. Jessica, Bob, his wife, and I, visited there this weekend with them and toured the site. There is nothing left except steel poles that were aparently used to fence the area in to try to save it. People can't leave things along and they have removed every stone there. BorderWalker has a really cool newspaper article written by Beck in 1962 showing the grave stone of Zeb Collins and talking about the site. BorderWalker I believe also mentioned that the Boy Scouts tried in the past to keep it up but that did not prevail.

Tom it is really nice to know such a young man is interested in the history of the pines and does his research...See ya on our next adventure.

Guy,
Do you have the GPS coordinates (silly question to ask you! )
or a target on a topo you could email me? Ben and Laura and my family were out a couple of weeks ago looking for it but haven't had a chance to get out again to look for it. I'd really like to see the grave site, they are one of the most fascinating things to me about the Pines, especially those graves that are tucked away back in some mysterious corner, off the beaten path. Makes you wonder about times gone by, who they were, where they lived, what were their lives like....
BTW, Guy, the tracks Joe was looking for, we were recently told that they probably do exist, but were not specifically part of a railroad system but rather a way to get items for manufacturing or that were manufactured from one place to another, without being tied into the railroad system. Apparently a number of those exist in various places through the pines.
Also, are you freeing up any time soon to head out for my personal "Black's stone?"
Thanks!
Alfonso,
We did a cleanup as a group last year at Hermann City. This could be an annual thing, I think it's a great idea.
Renee
ann, i had a great time also and your right . there so much more out in our area we haven't found yet.........................bamber school house?
Yep, it was a fun outing. We certainly covered a lot of ground. Credit goes to Bob for locating the cemetery. It's a tricky spot to find unless you know where to look. The problem with me was that I was looking everywhere except there. 
Ann, kudos on your find at Dover Forge. We probably would have never even noticed it otherwise. Guy, yeah, it is a shame. I wondered if there was anyone still alive that might know the layout of the graves, but I doubt it. Still, it wouldn't take much to straighten up the site. I wonder how much a wooden sign listing the families buried there would cost.

Ann,
I am looking forward to viewing the photo's. I told Jessica you said to wear a warmer coat, and she said she has a sweatshirt and a winter coat on. She only weighs 90 pounds so there is not much fat to keep her warm.
Looking forward to another visit to some interesting places in the area, and thanks again for inviting all of us back for lunch.
Guy
The list was recalled by Jim Branson from memory and written down by Margaret Britton in 1978--both who are descendents of those buried there. It's neither complete nor accurate, but I did a bit of work matching the names with genealogical records to correct whatever I could. Still have to do a write up on that. (One of many things to do. 
)
As for who owns it, I think Alfonso's right. I have a recent map indicating the surrounding area is part of the Robert J. Miller Airpark and Recreation Area.

She needs more layers. I was under 100 lbs til college, and tend to run only 115. Definately needs more layers, insulating layers.

Also, she should try to buy men's insulated thermals rather than women's, (cheaper) maybe at the army navy, or else buy from REI or Bean's or something that is specifically made for women (pricier but usually lighter and less bulky with the same warmth). The stuff you buy that is sold as women's thermals is really just fashion type, and pj type of stuff with that crappy "waffle" weave that doesn't work as well.
Another thing---when I'm enroute in the vehicle, I keep the heat down as much as I comfortably can so I don't get to comfy in the heat, and I also strip down to only my T-shirt, then put the rest of my layers on when I get there. I will do that with my wool outer socks as well.
Renee
Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not doing that on Sunday. I went from a toasty 80 degrees down to whatever it was. I'll have to try that next time, thanks!
Nope, can't say I have. Nice find! Is that the book Al's talking about? I wonder if there's any landmarks in that picture that we could line up in the present day location. I can't tell.
