In the late 1930's one of the tasks the WPA was assigned was recording cemeteries. It is unknown whether the WPA workers actually viewed the tombstones or collected the info from death records at the courthouse or from newspaper obituaries. However, even with the inaccuracies in their recordings due to a variety of reasons, we are still grateful for the resource. Since some of the markers are no longer readable, the WPA records may be the only records we have. 

Note from coordinator: This cemetery is located on the border of Marshall and Tama Counties and both counties have references to it belonging to them.  The physical location of the cemetery is on the Marshall County side of the road.
