Pleasant Valley Cemetery (Geist Cemetery)
Preston, Pratt County, Kansas

Twp 6, Sec 23

Contributed by Russell Miracle, Jan 10, 2003 [russellmiracle@yahoo.com] Total records = 152.

To reach the cemetery drive north from Preston KS for 1 miles. Then east for two more miles. The cemetery is on the south side of the road, and about 1½ mile from the Reno county line.

This cemetery is has also been known as the Geist Cemetery.

In 1976 I went to the cemetery and collected records from the sexton and some from headstones. This transcription includes all known headstones.
