The information provided on the linked pages was researched by Orville and Mary Prill and Verda Baird. The primary source of information is transcribed from "Vol. 6, Jefferson Co., IA Records" by Mary Prill, pages 146 - 176. Verda Baird also researched the Jefferson County records from 1880 - 1919 and Jefferson County Obituary Scrapbooks to provide, when possible, maiden names and marriages. The information was transcribed by Deborah Brownfield-Stanley.

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. In order for you to document information, we have made every effort to show from which source the the information was obtained.

We have tried to keep this information as accurate as possible.  However, all information should be checked against the original documents.

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

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.

This cemetery updated through 2005 courtesy of index cards kept by Verda Baird, and from 2006 forward by Joey Stark from Fairfield Ledger obituaries.
