Widener Cemetery
Rock, Cowley County, Kansas

Lat: 37° 27' 27"N, Lon: 96° 58' 13"W
Rock Creek Twp, Sec 11

Submitted by Jack M Phelps, Sep 19, 2005 [jackp5149@juno.com]. Total records = 168.

Directions: Rock is located 2-1/2 miles south of the Butler / Cowley county line on highway US-77. From Rock East 1 mile, north 1/2 mile, east 1 mile, north about 3/4 mile, the Widener Cemetery is on the right (east) side.

The Widener Cemetery is located on property once owned by C.S. Widener, part of the Widener family farm. The cemetery is maintained by the Rock Creek Township.

I gathered from the head stone and family stones in May of 2001. I do not think there has been any burial in the cemetery since that time. If the photos and the index to locate them are of interest to anyone, please let me know, I will be happy to share.
