BROCKWAY CEMETERY RECORDS
ORONO TOWNSHIP
MUSCATINE COUNTY, IOWA

Directions: Starting with the Bypass 61 & Highway 38 Junction on the northern side of the city of Muscatine, go south on Bypass 61 to Hershey Avenue, which is about 5.5 miles. Turn onto Hershey Avenue (also called G28 and 231st Street) going west. Go about 13 miles and turn north onto Camp Avenue. Go about .3 miles and the cemetery is on the right hand side of the road.

Dave Dunston walked thru this cemetery October, 2005. You will notice many question marks (?). It was a tough going because many stones were hard to read, crumpling, etc. He also went thru the WPA cemetery records done back around 1938 and included any information in this database that differed from the info he had in his records.
