From the crossroads of Hwy 6 & Hwy 169 in Adel, IA. Go east approx 2 miles to Prospect Ave. turn left (north). Go � mile north to 288 Tr., turn left (west) and go down 288 Tr. About � to � of a mile down this road is a street that goes north, turn right and continue about � mile. The drive to the cemetery will be on your right.

I think the 1st to be interred here is Coons, Martha, who died 01 Aug 1858. This would mean the cemetery began about that time.

The cemetery was established by the Odd Fellows (IOOF) lodge in the mid 1800s. It is not being used much these days. The last burial was in 2004, a previously purchased gravesite.

I walked and read this cemetery Jul 17, 2006, reading all existing and legible markers and headstones.
