Mentzer
Cemetery
Hills, Section 18,
Liberty Township, Johnson County, Iowa
DIRECTIONS: Take Highway 218 south from Coralville, Iowa. Go west from the highway on 500th St. SW. Turn left (south) on Naples Ave. SW. Make a right turn (west) on Bayertown Rd. SW. The cemetery will be about a half a mile up on your right, (north side). Mentzer Cemetery is a small but well kept cemetery just west of Hills, Iowa. It was originally part of the old Mentzer farm. There are still burials taking place there. The following information is the product of a walk thru done on June 2002, the WPA records and a record done on 22 July 1975 that is on file with the Iowa City Library. Where stones were now broken, sunken or illegible, the older records were used. Information in the "Added Info" column is from our own genealogy database. Submitted
