In 1990, the Louisa County Historical Society compiled a Louisa County Cemetery Book and subsequently published annual updates to it. Unfortunately, up until now, there has been no alphabetized INDEX to the surnames listed there. Only the names of the cemeteries and the township where they were located were included in the table of contents in this book. You needed to know where your ancestor was buried to find them. In addition, the "T" and part of the "Mc" sections were completely omitted from that publication As with any publication there were also other errors.
A number of people have been involved in obtaining and verifying the different sources of cemetery information for you. You may have already used our alphabetical listings of 30 + cemeteries on the Louisa County Genealogical Society website that were compiled by the website coordinator, Norma Jennings, involving the contributions and efforts of many. Members of LCGS have rewalked many of the smaller pioneer cemeteries, one by one. Recently, some of the larger cemeteries have been tackled. This past fall, Rachelle Curtis with the assistance of her husband and daughter rewalked the Harrison, Indian Creek, and Letts Cemeteries. Every effort is being employed to obtain corrected information for you to use in your research.
Len Bowen scanned and alphabetized the contents of the Louisa County Cemetery Book published by the Louisa County Historical Society with the assistance of the Louisa County Genealogical Society including all its supplements. Dana and Vicki Teel did a comparison study of the WPA records and located many burial omissions in those records. Other LCGS members rechecked records throughout.
This database will provide a large variety of data when completed. If you are looking for veterans buried in Louisa County, Iowa, there is a separate page listing veterans only. Military Personnel Buried In Louisa County
We will not be making corrections to the spellings of any names in the central database as the names here are presented as they were found in the various publications or on the tombstones themselves. We will however add notes of any conflicting data as time permits.
For those of you fortunate enough to own your own copies of the Cemetery Books, they are now indexed.
