PENN CENTER CEMETERY

The Penn Center Cemetery is located in Section 15 near the center of Penn Township (Township 77N , R 29 w) in Madison County, Iowa. It was established as a cemetery about 1888. Located in the northwest corner of Madison County , Penn Township was the last township of the county to be settled. Most of the land in the township was prairie and the lack of many trees made it almost impossible for the settlers to survive, until the Rock Island railroad (Des Moines to Omaha route) was built in 1868.
