Guthrie Co. IAGenWeb

Cemeteries

This cemetery listing for 704 graves was created by merging the information found in the 1930’s WPA Graves Registration Survey (124 records), the previous Orange Twp. Cemetery table contributed by Frank Stanley (693 records)**, the ongoing Iowa Gravestone Photo Project (GPP) (2 records), and the ongoing the IAGenWeb Obituaries Board (Obits) (0 records). Columns 2-4 indicate the displayable source of the data: WPA (W), GPP (G) and Obits (O). Some records may have more than one source. If there was a disagreement, the County Coordinator used his best judgment regarding which information to include in the compilation. Page was last updated on Saturday, 12 June 2010.

**Note: Orange Township Cemetery is approximately 3 miles south of the Shell Gas Station on Hwy 141 in Coon Rapid, IA. The dirt road on the east side of the station is the road you go south on. The county line (Guthrie & Carroll) is just 1/4 mile down this road. Don't turn off of this road, just keep going south. The cemetery is on the left side (East).

Orange Township cemetery originated in the late 1800's with the oldest existing stone being February 1872. This cemetery is still accepting burials. I determined there were at least 17 unreadable or damaged stones. I surveyed this cemetery in May 2003, by reading all of the headstones. I have transcribed from this reading. - Frank Stanley [stanley9099@yahoo.com]
