Wilson Cemetery

The State Highway commission map locates the Wilson Cemetery in the Se 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 25, but it is located in the NW part of section 36. There is no longer a road. It is located on the farm where Lowell Barker lived, located west of the house. It is no longer kept up, and has an iron fence around it. The fence is the same as what is around Jay cemetery. This fence was once around the courthouse on the Bloomfield Square. April 27, 2003, the fence is becoming overgrown with multifloral rose. Several of the trees overhead are beginning to die.

Stones copied by Mrs. Laws 6-30-1974.  Stones still eligible, 4-27-2003, by Clark & Deborah Barker
