Louck's Grove Cemetery

"In 1865 J. B. McGinnis donated two acres of land on his farm in section 34 for the purpose of a cemetery, and the same was surveyed by George B. Wilson. Wesley Taylor, who was at that time recorder, entered the plat upon the county records, for which service he, with his usual liberality, declined to receive any compensation. The first burial within this beautiful city of the dead was Eli Bruce, a son of Jacob Bruce, who died about the time of the laying out of the grounds."

transcribed from History of Guthrie and Adair County, 1884

Louck's Grove Cemetery is at the end of a short road. At the beginning of the road and across another road is an abandoned Church. I have included a photo of it also.
