Koons Cemetery

Also known as Coon or Long Cemetery
Locust Grove Township, Section 23


This cemetery had burials from 1839 to 1879. Prior to 1975 there were seven stones standing, and their data was copied by a nearby farmer. This group of burials is shown in the first table. At this time there are no stones standing, and the cemetery unfortunately has been plowed over.

After considerable research by Verda Baird in 1986, she was able to put together a few family sheets on the many descendants of John KOONS. Those listed in the second table are buried in this cemetery but no stones were found by the farmer who copied the original seven markers.

If you need further information on a listed name, contact the Jefferson County Genealogical Society or post a Query on our Query Board.
