IOOF CEMETERY
Jefferson Township, Allamakee county Iowa

I.O.O.F. cemetery - photographer, Reid R. Johnson

The IOOF Cemetery is on road X26 about .75 miles south of Rossville, Iowa. A plat of the cemetery and notations thereon is one filed for record on March 23, 1918. The key to grave locations in the cemetery listing is based primarily on a walk-through survey of mid-1985.

Added 7/10/2024 by S. Ferrall, this ancedotal note: From the obit of John Taylor, who died in June 1877 "He was buried on the 25th, according to the rites of the Odd Fellows, of which fraternity he was an honored member, and is the third person to "sleep the sleep that knows no waking," in the Odd Fellow's graveyard, south of town.
~North Iowa Journal, Wednesday, July 4, 1877; pg 3

Dale Woodmansee performed a wonderful service in surveying all the tombstones in the cemeteries in Allamakee county and publishing the data; but with any undertaking of this magnitude, there likely are errors, conflicting information or descrepancies. User-contributed information has been added on the Woodmansee Notes pages.
