Driving instructions: From Hwy 24 at Mound Station near Timewell drive west on County Road 1100 NE for 1.4 miles. Turn left (south) onto Rd 100E and proceed 0.4 miles to cemetery on the left or east side of the road.

This small old cemetery has many stones toppled over and many others illegible. The cemetery has some maintenance but is not active. I did not investigate current ownership.

I surveyed this cemetery on Oct 27, 2006. All legible tombstones are included.

What makes us Different?

Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
