The Pottersville Cemetery is located east of Pottersville in Howell County Missouri. It was originally the burial ground of White Church, a small, white box house built by the Congregational Methodists soon after the Civil War. The cemetery at the little church was known as Adams Graveyard, named for Benjamin Adams, who lived nearby. The cemetery was later renamed the Pottersville Cemetery.
