Pritchett




Our Old Pioneers Memorial at Hillhouse Graveyard, Camden County, Missouri
Memorial Address by Hon. J. W. Armstrong
On Sunday, May 31, 1925, about 1,000 persons gathered at the Hillhouse Cemetery, a few miles northwest of Stoutland, for a Community Memorial Service.
The founder of the Pritchett family was so old when I knew him that everybody called him 'Dad'. He reared a large family on what is now the Smith Blackburn farm. I think all his children are dead - some buried here - but many of his posterity are here.
