| CHOTROW, Rosa Belle - This stone was discovered by Jeremy Heath. It was photographed July 2, 2008, by Charles "Charlie" Chotrow, II and his girlfriend, Sharon Pinson. Charlie is the grandson of Rosa Belle (Stinnett) Chotrow. Rosa Belle (Stinnett) was the daughter of Dollie Ann (Nash) and James M. Stinnett. She was born August 17, 1915 and died March 23, 1956. She was the first wife of Vernon William Chotrow and the mother of four children. She specifically asked her family to bury her beside her mother, Dollie Ann (Nash) Stinnett, when she died. To date, she is probably the last one to be buried in the Nash Cemetery. CLICK HERE to view death certificate. Joyce Wafford would appreciate additional information on Rosa Belle Chotrow. Here are additional photos of her grave: Photo #2 - Photo #3 . |
| E. N. It is believed that this may be the marker for grave of Elijah Nash. If not Elijah, it may be Elizabeth Nash who was married to Thomas Nash as other members of her family are buried here. Elizabeth was daughter of Claiborne "Clabe" and Amanda Nash. |
| L. - This is probably the grave of Marvin "Lee" Nash, who always went by name of Lee. His wife, Georgeann (Doggett) Nash, is buried here which is why it is believed that he is too. Marvin Lee Nash was born 1861 and probably died between 1900 - 1910 per census records. He married Georgeann Doggett November 22, 1882, in Big River Twp., St. Francois County, Missouri. They were the parents of three children, to-wit: a son (exact name unknown) who is listed on the 1900 census who died at a very young age; Lillie Nash who married Jacob Topping; and, LuAnn Nash. |

| NASH, Georgeann (nee Doggett) - Wife of Marvin Lee Nash. Born 1865 and died March 13, 1923, per her tombstone. |
| R.R.N. - It is thought that this may be the grave of Robert Nash. No further information is available on him at this time. It was first thought by Joyce that this might be the grave of William "Riley" Nash who went by the name of "Riley". He was born about 1856 and died at Leadwood in May of 1930. However, she was told by a cousin, who is a grandchild of Riley, that William Riley Nash and his wife, Martha (Stinnett) Nash, are buried in another Nash Family Cemetery located north of Valles Mines, Missouri. |
| STINNETT, Dolly Ann (Nash) Stinnett - Born 1886, Died 1929; daughter of Claiborne "Clabe" and Amanda Nash; married James Stinnett on June 15, 1901, Bonne Terre, Missouri; mother of Pearl Stinnett, Bertha "Dollie" Stinnett, and Rosey Stinnett. |
| TOPPING, Jacob (1893 - Dec. 17, 1918) - Husband of Lillie Nash; daughter of Marvin Lee and Georgeann (Doggett) Nash. Lillie is listed as being buried in the Germania Cemetery in Bonne Terre. According to that listing, she was born Sept. 14, 1889 and died Aug. 3, 1969. No tombstone was found for her. |

DIRECTIONS TO CEMETERY Take Berry Road (a/k/a old U.S. Hwy. 67) north from Bonne Terre several miles until you come to Primrose Road (which will be on left hand side of road North of Big River). If you get to C.B. Joe's Restaurant, you've went too far and missed the road. You will then drive along Primrose Road (up and down a few hills and round a sharp right-hand curve in road) until you come to small low-water type bridge which crosses over Bee-Run Creek. Don't cross over bridge. We parked in area just before you get to the bridge. Across the road (to your right), you'll see an old logging road or pathway that goes up the hillside. Just climb up that road/path which veers at first to the left and then veers to the right until you get to "the top of the mountain". There is a large flat clearing at the top. Take pathway that leads off to the right of that clearing. As you walk along that trail, keep looking to your left. You'll eventually see the cemetery a short distance off of the trail in a wooded area. The cemetery has partial fencing around it, but most of it is down. I believe the property might be located on land owned by St. Francois Estates, LLC. When we were there in February, there was a lot of logging and clearing going on so property may look entirely different now than it did then. |
