Hitt Cemetery; Cape Girardeau Co, MO
Hitt Cemetery; Cape Girardeau Co, MO

County Road 261, near Arbor, Cape Girardeau Co, MO;
directions: from hwy 25 South make a right on county road 262, when the road splits, stay to the right (county road 261).  Continue until you see the cemetery, right up against the road, on the right side; I believe it’s about a mile in.

This is one of four Hitt Cemeteries in Cape Girardeau County.  I have not been able to find the other three yet.

This is a full listing;
