Directions: Take Poplar Street from Main Street in West Branch. Go past the Quaker Church.
The cemetery is next to the public library. It is the green space at East College and North Downey Streets.This was the orginal cemetery for the village of West Branch. It was established in 1853. In 1878, the Friends decided the burying ground was too small and closed the cemetery. (A few later burials were made under special circumstances.)
A new cemetery was established and it became known as the West Branch Cemetery.In June of 1993, a monument naming Friends Village Cemetery, was dedicated to all those known to be buried in the orginal cemetery.
There are three original stones still standing however one is not readable. View Grave Stone Photos on Iowa Gravestone Photo Project.
