Most of the following listings are from the late 1930’s cemetery surveys done by the WPA (Works Progress Administration).  A number of errors have been found to exist in the WPA records so please note we have NOT verified them for accuracy.  Some of the other listings were extracted from obituaries, tombstone photographs and site visitor submittals.  Items in blue with no research sources were gleaned from various sources which have not been verified.

 

As with all cemetery listings, this information may contain errors and should be verified by the individual researcher.

 

A brief note regarding the Burr family:  As a result of the tragedy surrounding the repossession of the Burr family farm, their story was covered on national news reports and in “Lone Tree: A True Story of Murder In America’s Heartland” by Bruce Brown. 

This story, and others like it from all over the country, were what prompted the organization of the Farm Aid concerts.
