Read More	The oldest burials in this cemetery are from the early 1830s, when West Liberty Church and Cemetery were established at this location. They were the first church and organized cemetery in Pettis County. The original founders were Baptists, but both the small log-cabin church building and cemetery were used by all denominations. Religious camp meetings were sometimes held here, lasting for a number of days and having a large attendance. Several other names were also used for the cemetery over the years, including Georgetown, Muddy Fork, and Mount Olive. In 1887, Mount Herman Baptist Church and Cemetery were established at the same location. Both have continued to the present day and are still very active. Over the years the original log building disappeared and the current church is a white frame building. The oldest graves are to the north of the church building, with newer sections on the east and west sides. There is a variety of mostly-modest grave markers, and also numerous unmarked graves. Many extended families have continued to be buried here for several generations, and may have several different family plots. An ornamental metal gate and fence extending from the church building surround the cemetery. There is a sign in front relating the history of the church and cemetery, and a smaller sign near the gate with hours for church services. The church and cemetery are located on Mt. Herman Road in Cedar Township, 3.5 miles north of the northern town limit of Sedalia. They are in a rural area surrounded by farmland and woods, but close to Highway 65, from which they can be accessed coming from either the north or the south. There is a street sign attached to a stop sign at the turn-off for Mt. Herman Road, which extends east from Highway 65. Just south of the intersection and a few feet off the road, there is also a white large sign pointing the direction to the church and cemetery. The church and cemetery are easily sighted immediately to the north of Mt. Herman Road, about one-third mile from the highway and up a slight hill.
