South Oak Grove Cemetery
This cemetery listing for 2476 graves is mainly based on a 100% Photo survey conducted by Bill Waters in August 2011 and was created by merging the information found in the Works Project Administration (WPA) 1930’s Graves Registration Survey (579 records), the ongoing Iowa Gravestone Photo Project (GPP) (2726 records), and the ongoing IAGenWeb Obituaries (Obits) (2 records). Columns 2-4 indicate the displayable source of the data: WPA (W), GPP (G) and Obits (O). Note that some records have more than one source, because often the info is redundant. If there is a discrepancy, the County Coordinator used his best judgment about which information to include.
NOTE: The numbers in this summary do not "add up" for a variety of reasons, the main ones being that many married women (98) have 2 GPP records one with their maiden name and one with their married name, that most Family Stones (149) have adjacent smaller stones that mark individual graves and that some graves (67) have more than one marker.
This section diagram does not depict the official North Oak grove cemetery sections. It comes from the notes that Bill Waters made as he conducted his photo survey of South Oak Grove Cemetery. The sections shown on this diagram correspond to the sections that are provided in the cemetery table.
