| History: The Manchester family probably owned the
land where this cemetery is located, although marked Manchester burials
were after 1900. There is no road to it. Manchester Cemetery was canvassed by Chad Kellogg in 1969, and photographed by Nancee (McMurtrey) Seifert in May of 2010. Nancee noted, "This cemetery is fenced and mowed but many of the headstones have fallen down." |
