Wash Co. Historical Soc. 1983 Prairie Mound Cemetery Alternate name Rice- Landes Cemetery Established 1859 Notes The cemetery was named for two prominent families, Rice and Landes, who are buried there and the Mound Prairie church which once stood at the corner of the lot. Its work was taken over by the Swedish Methodist Episcopal Church in Afton.
The register of burials was kept in the record book of the Mound Prairie Church Association formed in 1896 and an old plat map shows a church in one corner. The earliest known burial was of Fannie Guy in 1859. A bronze marker with the cemetery name was installed in 1983 by the Washington County Historical Society.
