You can reach Pritchett Cemetery by going north on Boulder Road from US
Highway 50. Go through the town of Boulder, past the Methodist Church,
around the curve for one mile. There is a green road sign that says
Pritchett Road and another sign that says Pritchett Cemetery on the
right hand side of the road pointing to the road to the left. This
cemetery is about .8 mile from the Clark Cemetery Road. Pritchett
Cemetery probably belongs to the Boulder Methodist Church. If someone
can read their death book and/or cemetery book and update this data
base, we will be more than happy to pick up the changes for other
researchers.
Section 1 is the older section, Section 2 is the newer section inside the circle drive. Both begin numbering at the back right hand side of the section. The grave number is merely a sequential number of the stones, not of the lots. This number will become obsolete as new burials are made and new stones are installed, especially in Section 2. For a majestic feeling, be sure to stand under the oak tree in Section 1.
History of the cemetery can be found in the Clinton County Historical Society Quarterly 20-2, Page 78.
S/w means shares stone with. GHS means government head stone, PHS means private head stone. For Privacy purposes, we consider that anyone with a tombstone with just a birth date within the last 100 years is still living. Rootsweb uses 75 years as their privacy cut-off. We have that person's name, perhaps including the maiden name, and other information that is on the tombstone - married date, children's names.
