SAINT MARY'S CATHOLIC CEMETERY (Pegtown Rd.)
CEMETERY MAP
by PAUL FRENCH
Paul has created a map from the map maintained by the St. Mary's Cemetery Board. The map shows burials which may not be included in the DMCGS gravestone survey, below, either because the burials are unmarked, or because they've occurred since the survey was completed in 1979.
Note: While names on the map are in rather small print, you can zoom in on-screen to make them more easily readable. You can also use the poster printing function in Adobe Acrobat Reader to print the map in enlarged size across multiple sheets of paper.

| BURIAL LIST
by PAUL FRENCH
Paul also has created, from the 1979 DMCGS gravestone survey, an updated burial list which includes lot numbers that correspond to the map to the left. He has added bits of other information such as maiden names, relationship information, and a few more complete dates. He did not add burials which have occurred since 1979 unless there was already a marker in the survey list.

Saint Mary's Catholic Cemetery is located in section 2 of Benton Township. 6502 Pegtown Rd. Mediapolis, IA 52637 (near Kingston). From Burlington, drive north on Highway 99 about 9 miles. Just before Kingston, turn west (left) on a gravel road which takes you up a steep hill (about 1 mile). The cemetery is just west of St. Mary's Catholic Church.
