Jacksonville Township Cemetery

Located five miles northeast of New Hampton in the 1700 Quinlan Ave Block in Lawler. South of the 160th/170th Intersection on the east side of Quinlan Avenue.

In the 1930's, the WPA listed only one burial at this cemetery. In 1965, someone made a handwritten transcription of the burials. In 2005, a sign was erected at this cemetery, listing all known burials. In 2016 Conni McDaniel transcribed the 1965 transcription and uploaded it to this site - 1965. In 2018, the county coordinator visited the site, took pictures of all gravestones still existing (and a picture of the 2005 sign), loaded the pictures to the Iowa Gravestone Photo Project IGPP.

The table below combines data from all of these sources and links names to the appropriate IGPP entry, where available.
