History

edit

It consists of four cemetery sections: Masonic and Odd Fellows sections on the north of U.S. 50, and Calvary (Catholic) and "Citizens" sections on the south side. A fifth section, for Indians, next to the Citizen's section, is not included in the NRHP listing, due to owner issues.[2]
