In February 1942, the WPA canvassed the Calhoun county cemeteries. Thanks to some great volunteers the WPA listing is now on the internet at Iowa Graves Survey WPA.
As I find an obituary I will be linking the names to the individual or to another family member.
If you have a relative buried here and would like to post it, let me know.
The quickest way to locate a name is to use your "FIND (on this page)" under "EDIT" in the upper left hand corner of your browser!
