Hobson Cemetery
AKA Colburn Farm
Nodaway Township, Section 25 South
Andrew County, Missouri<\/h3>\n

Directions: From Savannah US Business 71, east on State Route E 3.5 miles to SR D, then north and east 0.8 mile to County Road 185, then north 2.6 miles on CR 185 to CR188, then west on CR188 for 1.6 miles to the Y at the end of CR188 which becomes CR186 going south and CR187 going north. These roads are now abandoned. To the north on CR 187 is a locked gate which can only be opened by the land owner. One can drive about 0.4 miles south on the abandoned road CR186 to a gate on the west side of the road. If the gate is open, one can drive approximately 0.25 mile and cross the pond dam, but at that point the road ends. From there, walk about 0.25 mile west to the top of a steep hill and then a bit north to the cemetery.<\/p>\n
