BADGER CREEK - STEVENSON CEMETERY
Badger Creek, or
Stevenson
Cemetery, as it was first called, is a small plot in Section 14,
Township 19, and Range 12. It is located just east of Badger Creek on Highway
50 South, not far
from the junctions of the Cottonwood and Neosho Rivers, in Lyon County. It is
now cared for by
the township.
In 1878, the
TIBBALS
family owned the land on which the cemetery lies. At that time the
STEVENSON, PEARSON, LUDY,
and
FUQUA
families all lived near by. One of the oldest
stones is that of Nathan
STEVENSON
. It is weathered and very hard to read. The date of his
death is either 1867 or 1862, and he died at the age of 68 years.
