The Clarke County Genealogical Society compiled a listing of burials by walking the cemetery in 1997. I walked this cemetery October of 2016, recored the headstones, reserached newspapers for burials in the cemetery and compared to the WPA records. This is not an absolute list as I don't think that is possible. I have done my best to get as much inforamtion as I can. If you have any additions or corrections please let me know. I haved added the burials and photos to Find A Grave and the Iowa Gravestone Photo Proejct.
I followed the Society's direction of walking so as to keep this lists somewhat similiar incase someone was comparing both lists.
The stones are recorded in the order they are set in the
row. They started in the northwest corner and every row of stones was read
from the north end to the south end, always working from the western-most
row to the east. If the cemetery was divided into sections, each section
will start in its northwest corner. The listing is by rows of stones, not
by lots.
Each stone is listed with a row-stone number such as 05-03 (the third stone in the fifth row). If there is more than one person named on the same stone, the number is repeated for each one. They made an effort to determine the surname for those foot stones, based on type of stone and proximity to a family headstone, then put the surname in parenthesis. There is the possibility of error. Also in parenthesis are notations about the condition or location of the stone or additional information about the deceased person taken from the WPA's Graves Registration book.
Underlined words or numbers indicate that the word or number was difficult to read and that they have made a "best guess."
