​
There are at least 130 graves here, with burials between 1853 and 1922. Many stones in this cemetery have been damaged in the past by vandalism.  Some have had interesting homemade repairs with frames and wooden braces. The cemetery is located on 2 acres with a 1,000-foot walk. The gate at the street is padlocked.  Much work has been done on this cemetery in the past 3 years by a local 4-H club.
​
You can walk around the gate to view the cemetery on foot; if you need access with a vehicle, contact trustee Janet Ritchie at (641) 891-2397.
