Family Burial in Sioux County

BURGGRAAF

Posted By: Sharon Scott (email)

I have an old letter from a distant relative that lived in Doon at the time that says Aunt Eliz. (Elizabeth Burggraaf or Burgraff) "in the R. Valley Cemetery." She would have passed away between 1886 - 1891 when they lived in Holland IA. I am looking for her grave or any information about that family. She was married to John Burgraff 1859-1921.
Another page in the letter discusses the death of John's son Albert who died about 1892-1894 of an accidental gunshot wound at about the age of 9. Her letter states "Little Albert is buried in a country cemetery not far from here." She is from Doon and the letter was written in 1978. Does anyone know of a little country cemetery around Doon? Thanks in advance for any help.
Sharon
