Lee County IAGenWeb - Abandoned Cemeteries-Dudley

DUDLEY CEMETERY
Franklin Township, Section 9
Lee County, Iowa

Abandoned Cemetery 7 miles north of Keokuk, southwest of Montrose in an area known as Summitville.  There was once a road leading to it, but it is gone.  In the spring of 1952 it was a 
beautiful county cemetery, all of the old stones were standing.  It has been vandalized and is nearly destroyed today. (2000) 
First known burial: 1849  Last known burial: 1879

I was there in the spring of 1952 . I saw my first stone made like a tree trunk. Another first was a stone made as a lamb.
