From Langdon, KS go east on K-61 about 4 miles & then north on Sterling Road about 1 mile. The cemetery sits on the west (left) side of the road. Sterling Road is the road that goes to Kanza Camp so look for this camp road sign from either direction. From Arlington, KS go west on K-61 about 5 miles & then north on Sterling Road about 1 mile.

This is the first Langdon Cemetery which was used for the town of Langdon before the Maple Hill Cemetery was opened. The land was set aside for burial purposes by Julius Elliott on Dec 18. 1878. Some refer to it as the Old Langdon Cemetery.

This little cemetery looked to be well cared for. The area was well maintained & the old headstones appeared to have been restored. Information in parenthesis are notes which I added.

I walked and read this cemetery on Oct 15, 2005. It includes all existing and legible headstone readings at that time.
