Pioneer
Cemetery
(a.k.a. Old Town Cemetery)
Iowa Mormon Trails
Established August 14, 1859
 
|
Old Town Cemetery is located in
Section 21, Macedonia Township, two miles northwest of Macedonia. This
cemetery was named Pioneer but is better known as "Old Town." The
original town of Macedonia was located nearby when it was first
started, but then the railroad located about a mile east of the
location, the town simply picked up and moved to meet it in 1880.
To reach Old
Town
Cemetery, drive east out of Macedonia. After crossing the Nishnabotna
River, take the first right turn. The cemetery is up around the curve
on the west side of the road.
Some people
interred
here were moved to the Carson and Macedonia cemeteries, along with the
stones erected at their site. Thomas Jefferson Ring, the founder of
Macedonia is buried in Old Town Cemetery.
There is a
grass drive
down the middle of the cemetery. When read, it was divided into
north and south sections. It was read left to right starting with
the rows nearest the road.
