Peake Lutheran Cemetery


Peake cemetery is located in Section 30 of Rusco Township, about 7 1/2 miles
north of Riverdale, on Riverdale Road between 220th and 225th Road.

The church was built in 1906 and was called St. Paul's. The first grave was before the Church or cemetery was organized. A baby died and was buried in the place which was later organized into the cemetery. There are three graves without markers. One has a headstone but no names. -- From Fort Kearny Genealogical Society

In the "baby row" there are indications of graves, including a small area of concrete, a concrete marker with no name, and a concrete edging around a grave. For possible names, see the Peake death records. Not all deaths are listed there, and some of those deaths were buried elsewhere.
