Parr (Wheeler) Pioneer Cemetery
Liberty #32 52501 177th Ave.
The Parr-Wheeler Cemetery is located in a farm field in Sec. 32 of Liberty Twp.
From Chariton, drive west on Highway 34 to the airport and turn right on 200th Ave crossing the bridge over the railroad tracks. Just beyond the bridge is a graveled road (505th Lane) leading to your left. Follow the road, keeping to the right, (as there is another road which would take you left)and after many crooks and turns you will come to a winding hill with a bridge over Whitebreast Creek at the foot of the hill. Cross the bridge, turn right at the first gravel road (185th Trail), which goes uphill. About ¾ of the distance up this hill is a farm gate to the left. To reach the cemetery, go through the gate and back through a farm field to the small fenced in area enclosing the headstones.
Thank you for these directions. We were able to find the field, but that particular year the farmer planted corn all around it and we could not get to the cemetery. Maybe we will be able to try again.
