Re-drawn from the plat in the Rockville Town Hall
Grave site indicators are approximate. The cemetery is located about
a quarter mile east of Rockville.
Martha Wilson (Hale) is buried at the David / Effie Mankin site. Sebastian
Durr's first wife is buried at the Durr site. Other Mankins include Gibson
Mankin and children. Arthur Wood(s) died in Greene Co. MO in 1937 and interred
here at his request. Is it possible that his parents Albert M. Woods and
Harriet E. Mankin are buried nearby ? They died c1892 and were buried on
the same day leaving behind three orphaned sons, Arthur, Bert and Gilbert.
Gilbert the youngest was only 6 years old when they died. All traces of
their death records and burial sites are gone as well as their sons. Only
Effie Mankin Durr remembered where they were buried and she has departed
us as well. She once took one of Gilbert's sons to visit the site (1942)
but the only memories of that visit are that the grave markers were made
of wood and that the Cemetery was "just outside of Rockville". Some others
buried here are listed on the Parke County Cemetery
Index page under Rockville Cemetery and a photograph of David, Martha
and Effie's gravestones and an inset of Sebastian Durr's can be seen at
the top of the page. Questions about others not listed in the index can
be answered by the author if e-mailed.
