Conesville Cemetery
Conesville, Iowa


The Conesville Cemetery was rewalked on July 10 & 11, 2000 by Susie Martin-Rott and her cousin Mary Hamilton Singleton.  All sections except one small portion of the newest section  were completed in July .  The last small section was completed in October by Mary Singleton.  Mary, a lifelong Conesville area resident, advises that several of the remaining stones are marking pre-purchased gravesites of currently living individuals.  She also provided additional information on some of the burials including maiden names and other family relationships.

Also used to verify lot numbers and family relationships was Mabel Estle Brown's incredible history of the area "The Fork of the Rivers: History Is People".  In some cases notations of burials appeared in the book for which we could not find markers during the walk.  These have been noted as there are some graves in the cemetery which have no markers.

We sincerely thank the late Mrs. Brown for her ten years of incredible research, and her daughter Pat Hoback for giving us permission to share some of the information from this now unavailable publication.  Without their hard work, we would never have been able to connect some of these people to the correct families.

Entries added after the Jul 2001 rewalk may be found at the end of each page.  We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.
