I have teamed up with KCChiefs and GumshoeTully to put together a Lyon County Cemetery Series. When completed, this series should include approximately 37 cemeteries scattered around Lyon County, Kansas.
What you are looking for is a cammo plastic jar starting with a dino egg, with some dinos guarding it, a light for when things get dark, log book (please bring your own pencil), and something for the first to find.
Congrats to Nicooole for the First To Find.
This cemetery is off the county road a short distance. The road leading up to the cemetery is a single lane graveled road and probably has grass growning in the middle of the road.
To open the gate, pick up on the gate and slide the bolt to the left. Please close the gate when you leave. To close the gate, pick up on the gate and slide the bolt to the right.
North and some west of Emporia, about nine and one half miles, {Section 21, Township 17, Range 11} lies a rather deserted little burying ground, called the Frost Cemetery. It is on land formally owned by the FROST family.
There are some very old graves therein. The oldest date found on the stones still standing are August 6, 1860, the death date of a three year old child Harvey A. SCHULTZ. Another, for a man named Nathaniel QGDEN who died in his 48th year. The date is Feb. 8, 1861. The last burial seems to have been in 1944, and the one preceding that is 1937. Members of the FROST family are now using the Americus Cemetery for their burial ground, as it is well kept.
