Other_Information:
I visited
this cemetery tracing my Gandy Gr-Gr-Gr Grandparents and families on July 9,
2004. Stones of many were run over, I assume by mowers and almost buried. I was
able to locate some stones after poking around, and pulling the stones to the
surface. Never did find the St.Clair stone reported to exist there. Shubbery
is covering many stones the the right as you enter. The cemetery is no larger
than an acre.
Support:
There is a newly formed organization to
handle the old cemeteries in Davis Co.Iowa. Head of the Davis Co.Cemetery Assn.
is Willis Hoffman at 515)664-2852. Was told about this new organization at the
Bloomfield Court House before heading home to California.
