New to Lee Co Cemeteries
August 2007
Pat Morrison & the Olde Fort Genealogy Society have been
walking rural cemeteries and updating their records. Pat has made an index
of all burials and listed them on the
Olde Fort Website Go to the
Cemetery
Index Page and follow instructions. If you know of
burials and they are not
listed please share the names with us. Everyone
works really hard to build the most complete listing possible for Lee Co.
and you can help..

Abandoned Cemeteries
Abandoned Cemeteries
Most of these Cemeteries and Burial
Grounds are no longer cared for. It is good that they were recorded as
early as the late 1960's, as today many stones are unreadable ... if you can
even find them. Let me add that some of these cemeteries are now being
cleaned up and repaired by individuals or a newly organized cemetery group.

Blondeau Street Cemetery
From a book transcribed by Ernie Braida, Pastor of St. Peter's in Keokuk from
1978-1984
1844
“The pioneer church of the village was of course Roman Catholic. A lot had been
given on the corner of Blondeau and Second streets, upon which to build a
church; meantime a house of two rooms was put up on the corner of the lot at the
rear and here masses were said, one of the rooms being fitted up as a chapel,
the priest living in the other. Weddings were also solemnized in the small
chapel, one of which I attended, that of Elizabeth Hunt and Henry Louis [De
Louis], my cousin and myself being the only witnesses.
“The lots surrounding the Church were used as a cemetery. On one occasion
twenty-five men were buried there who were
killed by the explosion of the
steamboat Mechanic in their endeavors to get off a large rock in the first chain
of the rapids,
from which circumstance it took the name of Mechanic rock.
Quarry Cemetery
The
newest abandoned cemetery found in the county.
I will try to find out more. One stone up on the hill reads:
Mary A. Billups, daughter of E. & E.A. Billiups, died: Sept 20, 1859; age 3 years
