On page 559 of "The History of Boone County, Missouri 1882" the location of Perche Church is given as follows: in the center of section 19, township 51, range 13 which is exactly where it is today. This book also says that the present church building is a fine frame structure 34 X 50 feet in size and was built in the year 1880 at a cost of $1,200, There is no mention of the adjacent cemetery however I have found the following listings in the transcription which is a part of this site.

There are several more prior to 1880 however these are the oldest I found in a quick scan of the transcription. Assuming these markers were not erected at some later date as a memorial the cemetery has been at this location for at least 160 years as I write this in late May 2005.
