Abstract
Just three miles east of Richmond, Kansas, in the southwest corner of Franklin County, lies a cemetery, a cemetery containing weathered tombstones barely legible as recently as a few years ago. This cemetery is almost all that remains of a short lived town called Berea. Geographically, Berea was located at Latitude: N 38° 23' 56.8463" and Longitude: W 95° 10' 51.2833. Although the life of Berea as a town was short lived, the people and institutions established in the community over the years have made the legacy of Berea continue.
