A listing of the names and personal data of the persons buried in the Courtney Cemetery along with other information can be found on the page below.

While compiling the cemetery listings to provide you with as much information as possible we found it necessary to add an INDEX TO SOURCE INFORMATION. We have made special effort to show from which source the information was obtained in order for you to document the information.

Since this information has been transcribed several times and its accuracy may be flawed we encourage you to verify this information with all primary information available to you.

An underlined surname indicates there is a gravestone picture on our Jefferson County portion of The Iowa Gravestone Photo Project. Clicking the underlined name will take you to that picture. Use your Back button to return to this site. If you have a photo of a county gravestone, please consider contributing it to the Project.

Several "pioneer type" native rock "grave markers" were noticed so it is possible a number of other interments were made at this place. Some of those possiblities, which had no gravestone in the cemetery, are listed below. We are grateful to Richard K. Thompson for photographing the cemetery's gravestones in April, 2012. He noted ten of these markers, photos of which are below the burials listing.
