LINN COUNTY, IAGenWeb Project Dickenson Cemetery

Updated on March 30, 2008

Dickenson Cemetery
(Old Palo Cemetery)

Fayette Township

Old Cemetery with the town of Palo in the background.

The Dickenson Cemetery is easiest to find by taking Blairs Ferry Rd. from Cedar Rapids. At the Palo 4-way stop, go straight and take a right on Hollenbeck Rd. The cemetery is visible a short distance from Blairs Ferry Rd. on the right.

All of the Dickenson Cemetery gravestones listed below have been photographed
and are now on display at the IAGenWeb Gravestone Photo Project:

Note: Because this cemetery is one of the oldest in Linn County, the stones are often very difficult to read and errors may exist. Also, since there are many large spaces between grave markers, it can be assumed that others were buried here who are not listed on this page. Check below for stones not identified here due to their poor condition.
