HAYNE CEMETERY & INDIAN MOUNDS
A Marshall County Pioneer Burial Ground
Was located at SW 1/4 of SE 1/4 of Section 1, Washington Township, Marshall County, Iowa
There is very little history written about Hayne Cemetery and the Indian burial mounds that corresponded with it. The burial ground was located approximately 400' to the Northwest of the cache site on a ridge near the location where the brown house sits now according to the county history. Even when the first-known history books were written for the county, no records existed to indicate who was buried here and when they were buried. The land belonged to Thomas W. Hayne, henceforth this was probably a family burial plot where stones may or may not have ever existed. Any stones that may have existed were either stolen or could have possibly been relocated to Center School Cemetery, just a few miles to the Southeast.
The Indian mounds are supposedly at the same site and slightly to the west of the former cemetery. The natives buried here are believed to be from the nearby Meskwaki Tribe, though nobody can verify that one way or another. According to the Marshall County historian, the Indian mounds located here contain just a few burials and are supposedly still there.
