History

"Rushville Woodland Cemetery is in Section 4, Kellogg Township, Jasper County, Iowa. A warranty Deed filed 29 June 1888 transfers one acre of land from William and his wife E. R. Callison, "to be used for a burial ground for the dead." The deed was to the Trustees of Kellogg Township. The cemetery does not have a sign but is fenced, has a gate and is fairly well maintained. The earliest stone found is that of Maria K. Owings, wife of McKinzia Owings, who died 18 December 1861, 26y 2m 25d."
