Risher Family Cemetery

From Ackerly, go 2 miles north on US 87. Turn right (east) on CR 33 (in front of the red brick house just off of 87 - my grandparents homestead) and go 1.5 miles. Cemetery is on the right, still protected by the farmer who works the land.
There are several gravesites that are marked with stones with no names or dates. My grandfather moved to that area in 1923 and he said that as far as he knew, the Rishers were a family that was just moving through Dawson County.
