| History: This cemetery is also known as Eden
Cemetery or East Eden Cemetery. The land was given bt George B. and
Amelia J. Meek. The Eden Prairie Church of Christ (no longer in existence) was built in 1868 about 1/2 mile south but the cemetery was never connected with the church. The area is fenced with tombstones scattered throughout the cemetery. Flat cement slabs located just inside and south of the gate, mark where a tool house once stood. There are quadruplet babies buried here. ( #G 6-1) Deed Oct. 15, 1913 From: George G. Meek and wife, Amelia J. To: District Township of Eden |
