Boswell aka Harper
Cemetery (pioneer cemetery), Jackson Township Section 32,
150th Street and 100th Avenue on the Mahaska-Poweshiek County line.
The gate at the road into lane west to cemetery. Laid out
on ground owned by William and Mary Boswell and used as a burying
ground for many years before the trustees of the township purchased it
for $100 on March 28, 1867. It was known locally as the Harper
Cemetery because a family by the name of Harper lived on the adjoining
homestead. Of the graves, 43 of the 165 names read in 1974 were
of deaths prior to the purchase by the township. Several of those
early deaths were of people who had earlier lived in Parke County,
Indiana, and came to Agricola (now Barnes City) and were members of the
Primitive Baptist Church. Two soldiers of the War of 1812 are
buried there, as well as one Revolutionary War soldier. Stones
were found in this cemetery, and in Barnes City, for Lewis and Deborah
Barnes so it is thought their graves were moved to Barnes City.

moved. Charles Cox laid out the cemetery in 1862. The first
burial was Martin Funk, the 1-year-old son of Michael Funk in April
1856. Diphtheria struck the Cram family, causing death of all but
one or two of the children who are buried here. The dead were
wrapped in sheets saturated in alcohol and taken by the neighbors at
night for burial to prevent the spread of the dreaded disease. A
number of Civil War Veterans are buried here, and also one veteran of
the War of 1812, Edward Ware.

the early deaths were living in Parke County, Indiana, and came to
Agricola (Barnes City) and were members of the Primitive Baptist
Church. Two soldiers of the war of 18l2 are buried there as is

their small son was first to be buried there (baby Herman, in 1871,
another a few years later; these two little graves were often visited
by school children from across the road). Two additions had been
made by 1937, and there were 159 graves. Korn

for Grinnell, and named it Hazelwood. The first burial was a Mrs.
Jane (Christiana?) Patterson in 1856. It was twenty five years
before the first enlargement, when the I.O.O.F. lodge purchased land
adjoining for $100 an acre. In 1890, the Ladies Cemetery
Association was formed to supervise the sexton's work (sexton [n.],
a person who looks after a church and churchyard, sometimes acting as
bell-ringer and formerly as a gravedigger) and oversee the upkeep
of the area. In 1895, an adjoining plot at the southwest corner
of Hazelwood Cemetery was purchased from the I.O.O.F. lodge by St.
Columbanus Catholic church (predecessor to the current St. Mary's) and
consecrated for Catholic burials. It was named Calvary Cemetery.
In 1955 the Ladies Cemetery Association dissolved, transferring
property and management to the city of Grinnell.

told the sons, "I'm going to die. Bury me at this spot near the road so
