As of 28 Jul 2003 with a 2003 update from an Obituary thanks to Jerry Blaylock

To reach Bethlehem Lutheran Cemetery, take the Ferrin Road south from US Route 50. The cemetery is on the right/west side of the road a little distance out of the town of Ferrin. The cemetery is sometimes informally called the Ferrin Cemetery.

If someone can glean more names and/or dates from the Church's death register and/or their cemetery records, we will be glad to add them to this data base for other researchers. Some Lutheran archives are at Concordia Historical Institute in St. Louis and St. Louis County Library, but this church's early records are not listed as being there. You may be able to contact the church through their website (Bethlehem Lutheran Church and Preschool) for further information.
