Ottumwa Cemetery Grave Records

The following are grave records from Ottumwa Cemetery.  The original source is probably from paper records maintained by the Ottumwa Cemetery Association.  This listing is taken from a typed listing that is believed to have been transcribed in the 1920s or 1930s.  All information is presented as originally recorded on the transcribed listing – including the original spellings. Notice that the transcription is not in strict alphabetical order.  Those persons who also appear on the WPA Wapello County cemetery census are listed in bold.  Differences between the WPA index and this listing are indicated in the Notes/Additional Information column.
