The Lucas Memorial Cemetery, established in the late 1890s, is located west of 
Idalia on County Road AA one half mile north of US36. It was started by the 
Andrew Lucas family when the nearby Friend Cemetery closed and in 1901 was 
donated to the community with a stipulation in the deed that burial plots would 
be given for free to anyone who asked. It is still active and is maintained by 
the East Yuma County Cemetery District. Many, if not all, of the 1880s-1890s 
burials here are remains of those moved from the Friend Cemetery.
