ROUND PRAIRIE OR LOCKHART CEMETERY
Located in YELLOW SPRING TOWNSHIP (Section 17E), Des Moines County, Iowa, you will find the ROUND PRAIRIE - or - LOCKHART CEMETERY. From Mediapolis, Iowa (at the intersection of U.S. 61 and Main Street), proceed North for approximately 3 1/2 miles. On H 28, turn right (East) and proceed for approximately 3 miles to the crossroad in Northfield, Iowa. Turn right at the crossroad (South) and proceed for approximately 1 mile. You will need to take a left turn (East) and proceed for approximately 3/4 of a mile - turn right (South) and proceed approximately another 2/3 of a mile. This could be a dirt road -- don't try this in or after wet weather.
This cemetery has many broken headstones - and many unmarked graves.
