| History: James W. and Rachel Woodmansee came to Decatur County in 1851, the first permanent settlers in Decatur Township. The story is told that a young man’s body (never identified) was found floating down the river and they buried him where they pulled him out, which was the start of Woodmansee Cemetery. There are rocks in the northwest part marking unknown babies graves. The main “state road” used to run on the south side of this cemetery. |
