Concord Christian Cemetery - Sec 25 - near Wilgenbush farm - 19887 Hingtgen Lane, Holy Cross, Iowa 52053 The church is no longer in existence; the cemetery is part of a cultivated field. No records or stones remain of the cemetery. The Concord Christian Church was established in January 1871. Concord Congregational Church Cemetery - Sec 25 - Rickardsville/ 21755 Route 52 North, Durango, Iowa 52039 Map The location of this cemetery is often confused with the two nearby cemeteries, the Concord Christian Cemetery and the Cottage Hill Methodist Cemetery. The cemetery was established in April 1858. While the cemetery association does not have a list of interment records, it does have a listing of markers that were recorded by the DAR in 1939. Cottage Hill Methodist-Episcopal Church Cemetery - Sec 25 & 26 - 22001 Route 52 North, Holy Cross, Iowa 52053 Established in 1856, the church was demolished in the 1940s. There are no known church records, although the DAR did record some markers in 1939 as did the Dubuque County Historical Society (1976) and the Dubuque County-Key City Genealogical Society (1991). A memorial to the veterans of the War of 1812, the Mexican War 1845-1848, and the Civil War is here. Floyd Private Gravesite, Sec 20, Holy Cross, Iowa 52053 There are no records for this abandoned cemetery, although there are 3 markers. Holy Cross Catholic Church Cemetery - Sec 19 - 909 Church Street, Holy Cross, Iowa 52053 Adjacent to the church, this active cemetery was established in 1842. (Partial Listing) Spring Mills Cemetery - Sec 34 - Four miiles north of Bankston, opposite Park - 23811 Park Hollow Road, Holy Cross, Iowa 52053 (Also called Bankston Park Cemetery) There are no cemetery records for this abandoned cemetery. It is located near the Village of Spring Mills in 1856. It is believed that this was a private family cemetery. There are four people buried in this cemetery. Further research and documentation is underway since County Road D17 doesn't go through Concord
Township. It could be either the cemetery located on the E. Fagan property or the old Tivoli
property (Sec 17) in Iowa Township. Either way (as I understand it from Tom Schlarman) all the
stones have been moved from those locations to Bethel-McGee in Sec 31 of Iowa Township.
