WHEATLAND CEMETERY
Union City Township, Allamakee county Iowa

The Wheatland cemetery, located on Wheatland Ridge, on the grounds of St. John's United Church of Christ. From New Albin, take Pool Hill Dr. (A-11) approximately 5.6 miles. Pool Hill Dr. becomes County Road 2 when the road crosses the state line into Houston co. MN, and again becomes A-11 when it turns south, crossing the state line back into Iowa. At the intersection with Wheatland Rd. turn south a short distance to the church and cemetery. Wheatland Rd. also intersects with Iowa River Dr. (A-26). Travel north approximately 5 miles to the church and cemetery. Address is 2952 Wheatland Rd.

Dale Woodmansee performed a wonderful service in surveying all the tombstones in the cemeteries in Allamakee county and publishing the data; but with any undertaking of this magnitude, there likely are errors, conflicting information or descrepancies. User-contributed information has been added on the Woodmansee Notes pages.
