The town of Perry, Missouri, bills itself as the gateway to Mark Twain Lake, and it is in southwest Ralls County.  Perry is just west of the intersection of Missouri Routes 19 and 154.  It is the home of the Ralls County Historicial Society.

South from the intersection of 19 and 154, about 2.2 miles (on the east side of Rte. 19) is the Muldrow Cemetery, where is buried John M. Wade.
