Peone Prairie Cemetery is located adjacent to and W of Bruce Rd.,
1/2 mile N. of Bruce and Peone Rds. in Mead.
Unfortunately there has not been a good record kept for this
cemetery until Jul of 1980. I first walked the cemetery, reading
all of the stones, then I compared with the Sexton books of Peone
cemetery which were up to 1998.
On Aug 10, 1999 I completed a new physical survey of this cemetery,
combining my readings with the 1998 transcription. If there was
a difference in the readings, I went with the headstone or made
a note of it when it was not evident which was correct. Transcribed
and compiled © 1999.
I read the cemetery again on Apr 30, 2005, this time with a digital
camera. I have a photo of each headstone. I found many of the
old stones have been replaced with new stones, changing the reading
I had the first time. In some cases they only used the year and
I have the full date. I try to only list the headstone reading,
but since this does include the the locations on some from the
sexton files, and some of the dates. I left what was there before
on the names. I also checked with the Sexton files up to Mar 01,
2012 and added any I did not find a marker for. These are followed
by an * asterisk.
