Badger Hill Cemetery (Spring Creek Twp) WPA Records

Also see History of Badger Hill Cemetery from The Gladbrook Tama Northern, Gladbrook, Iowa, Friday, August 12, 1955, page 5.

Contributed for use in IAGenWeb by Von Mings Stachon.

In the late 1930's one of the tasks the WPA was assigned was recording cemeteries. It is unknown whether the WPA workers actually viewed the tombstones or collected the info from death records at the courthouse or from newspaper obituaries. However, even with the inaccuracies in their recordings due to a variety of reasons, we are still grateful for the resource. Since some of the markers are no longer readable, the WPA records may be the only records we have.
