YELLOW BANKS CEMETERY
aka Yellow River or Shepherds
Lee County, Iowa
West of Keokuk, overlooking the Mississippi River bottoms  in Jackson Township. This cemetery is under the jurisdiction of the Jackson Co. Trustees but was left to go to ruin. There have been several attempts by private individuals, over the years to clean it up. It was repaired in 2000, but many, many stones have been lost. This was one of the earliest burial spots in Lee Co.
First known burial: 1839 although it has been said that there are Indian burials here.
Last known burial: 1941
