Muscatine County, Iowa
KAUFMANN CEMETERY RECORDS
MOSCOW TOWNSHIP, MUSCATINE CO., IA
also known as Duffe Cemetery or Sand Hill Cemetery

Directions to cemetery: Take Highway 6 west from Highway 38. About 2 to 3 miles, turn north on Moscow Rd (X 54 County Road). Go about .7 mile which puts you Moscow, Iowa. Turn right (east) on Clay Street. Go one block and turn left onto Ocean Avenue, a gravel road. Go about .5 mile and turn right on a field dirt road. Go about .2 mile and you will be at the Kaufmann Cemetery.

The land for this cemetery was given by Gottieb F. Kaufmann for a burial ground for any of his relatives.

Over time the cemetery has also been called the Duffe Cemetery, probably because this cemetery was surrounded by land once owned by the Duffe family. It has also been been referred to as the Sand Hill Cemetery because there was a Sand Hill County School standing near this land at one time. This information was provided from a book called, "Kaufmann History From 1847-1985".
