Iowa County Cemetery Stones and History 1844-1975 (manuscript) by Pauline Lillie

                              CONROY CEMETERY
                                 History by Pauline Italic


Located
Section 22 Hilton Township 80 Range 10, at the south east end of 
own, A lane into the cemetery on south side.

History
This cemetery is one of the newest, having been established after 
the town of Conroy, The town was named after James Conroy for his 
energetic service to the RRY. company in obtaining the right of way 
through the township (He is buried in Marengo, Catholic Cemetery.) 
The history of 1915 mentions the town of Conroy on pages 63 and 212 
under township of Hilton. Check the atlas of 1915 which locates 
many of these families.

Evidently the Kuhnle and Teggatz families were the first buried
here and others, Rudin, Schmidt soon afterwards (1913-1914). This may 
account for the reason no mention is made in History of 1915

Condition
Well cared for, neat and mowed, all grass clipped, No flowers or 
trash up next to stones, in fact several evergreen trees, were all 
that existed, Copied in October 20, 1975 and found it lovely.


Remarks
Easy to read- quickly copied;- These are kind make my day
