CLOTHIER CEMETERY
History by Pauline Lillie p. 1
Located
Section 29 Fillmore 78 Township Range 10- From the town-of Parnell, 3½
miles south then 2½ west, on Hy. F. 67 in the NW¼ Best to check to-day
plat for owenership.
History
This cemetery is not mentioned in the 1881 History for some reason; Atlas
of 1874 p. 15 shows on the S. Little or Mullvey farms. Atlas 1900 p.11
on the Patrick Ryan, or could be on W.W. Pettibone. The 1915 p. 31 Atlas
cemetery in the field in the Northwest part of section, near the middle
on the L.G. Wallace farm.
No reason was given me why it was called Clothier except information
gathered on the family from the 1881 History. Page 417 refers to the
first Trustees. "After the first election on the first Monday of April
1852, Chancy Clothier was elected Justice of Peace." Again on page 718
of early settlers; We find that Chancy Clothier came from New England
in 1849 and took a claim in the south part of the township, that he re-
moved to Kansas in 1870. This probably accounts for fact no burials of
the family here.
Chancy Clothier appears in the 1850 Census of Iowa with the following;
His age 31, a farmer, born New York, wife Mary J. age 23 born Ohio; Nelson W
age 11, born Illinois, Newton S. age 8 and Byron G. age 2 born in Wiscon-
sin, and Semantha age 6 months born in Iowa. He owned E½ of NE¼ and E¼ NE¼
Section 30 July 5, 1849.
Legal
In Deed Book 73 page 64, Iowa County: G.A. Humphrey to Public, for sum
of $ 1.00 paid by the Township Trustees G.A. Humphrey, J.B.Cain-J.H.
Murphy. It was located in NW corner of SW¼ of NW¼ Section 29, Township
78 Range 10 west and dated October 2, 1916.
Condition
As of July 28, 1968 when I was there and copied stones for genealogy
purpose for a DAR connection, found this a lovely little old cemetery
well cared for. They were not too difficult to read considering the age.
Most stones were standing, trash and flowers well cleaned. As I looked
down to the west from this little hill top which dropped into a small
creek beyond, I could not help but wonder why other townships could not
do likewise for their old cemeteries, who had more of a taxable property
valuation, and higher personal income base. Then for once I came away
with a little respect for the human race who appreciated their ancestors.
However now I wonder, what is expected to happen to these cemeteries,
for I notice that Fillmore Trustees asked for a total of $ 900.00 for
the upkeep of the three cemeteries.
Remarks: To reach the cemetery- drive into the Farm Homestead Yard, back
into another field (it was in beans day I was her, then into another which
was pasture: Gates, and fences of cemetery were in fine condition. Remember
get permission of landowner- for it is trespass_ These stones were copied
by Phyllis Wennermark and Margaret M. Wagner; But at the end I have .
my own additional.
