Spanish Flu Cemetery
The Story
This cemetery was started in 1918 on the NW corner of SW 29-21-32. Four graves with tombstones were in a two-acre page wire fence.
The reason this cemetery was started was to prevent the Spanish flu from spreading.
The tombstones were bulldozed on a pile and buried. The land is under cultivation and there is no sign of graves and no one knows whose names were on the tombstones.
