VILLAGE CREEK CEMETERY
Lafayette Township, Allamakee county Iowa

The Village Creek Cemetery (also called White Oak or Oak Leaf cemetery) is on the Lansing-Harpers Ferry Road (County X42) three miles north of the intersection with Sweet Ridge Dr. (County A52). The cemetery in Lot 2 of Section 18-98-3 is shown on a plat of the town of Milton recorded in 1893 (Book C, page 282). Milton was laid out in 1854. In 1857 a tract east of Milton was laid out and called Village Creek. Still later a third tract was laid out north of Milton and was named Howard Center. This complex of towns, in time, became known as Village Creek.
