CEMETERY STATUS: Fenced.
HISTORY: The town of Muchakinock
was organized in 1874 by H. W. and W. A. MCNEIL to accommodate the housing needs
of area coal miners. A large percentage of the miners were African-American,
with some Native Americans. At its peak, Muchakinock had a population of between
1500 and 1800 inhabitants. By 1904, mining operations had begun to decline, and
most miners moved on to new areas. The 4-acre cemetery remains as a memorial to
the diverse culture of the coal mining era of southern Iowa.
