Proctor Cemetery
Proctor Cemetery
From the Morgan county cemetery books by William and Dorothy
Williams:
"Since this cemetery is so close to the Lake of the Ozarks, many graves
were moved by Union Electric to this Proctor Cemetery when the Lake went
in, as the graves had to be moved. Some stones were moved by Union
Electric with the name and data on them. Others just have numbers.
There are more metal markers in this cemetery than any cemetery we have
visited.
Proctor was named for a pioneer settler, Ben Proctor, who lived in
Morgan county near Proctor Creek.
Samuel Willson came in 1837 and the place became a small trading post,
with post office, stores, tavern, blacksmith ship, church and about 75
residents.
Proctor was located on the Springfield and Boonville Road, a mile north
up-stream from the Osage River.
Tip Talbott owned the hotel. He had a riverboat named "Jobe"
that he operated on the Osage River. He bought and sold railroad
ties which he rafted on the Osage River to Bagnell, Mo. which was the shipping
point.
The Leib Brothers had a steam saw mill and a grist mill. John
C. Sullins was the blacksmith and wagon maker. The country store
operated by Brown, Mefford and Co."
