Viola Township Cemetery

Lily Bouquet

Viola Township Cemetery was walked by Audubon County Genealogical Society volunteer Barba Jean Duvall in 1993 and all existing gravestones transcribed. Donna Thomas recorded the transcription into a database. Donna walked Viola Township Cemetery again in November, 2011 and photographed all existing gravestones. Those photos have been uploaded to the Iowa Gravestones Photo Project (GPP). Not surprisingly, time and the elements have taken their toll over the intervening years. Some stones that were recorded in 1993 are no longer in place. Records for those stones will be found on Iowagravestones with an "Unmarked Grave" image and the transcription of the stone as found and recorded in 1993.

A number of broken gravestones are stacked in the maintenance shed. The top stones were photographed, but the stacks were too heavy for Donna to move and photograph every stone. Detailed stones for Irena B. Ridgway and Blanche A. Duncan were found in the shed, but the majority of the stones that were visible appear to be individual grave markers inscribed only with initials.
