Geocache Description:

 

 

ST. JOHN'S CATHOLIC CEMETERY is located in the northeast quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 8 of Linn Township. It is one-quarter mile north of Cumming, Iowa. The cemetery is kept by the St John the Apostle Catholic Church in Norwalk, Ia.    The new church was built in 2009 and is now in Norwalk, Ia and the cemetery is on the edge of Cumming.

 

 

 

 


In the mid 1800's, early Iowa territory settlers created a resting place for their companions that they called St. John's Cemetery. Over the past century and a half, this quaint cemetery has interred numerous members of some of Iowa's founding families. Today, you can still pay your respects to the hardworking visionaries that broke the virgin soil of Warren County, and turned it into some of the most productive farmland in the world.

You will have to enter the cemetery, but will not have to go near any graves.  Hours for this cache is Sunrise to Sunset.

Always respect the property of the cemetery.  If there are services going on, come back at another time. Show respect for mourners that may be present.
