Mt. Pleasant Cemetery

Located E of West Union, Fayette County, Iowa, on Hwy. 18, just past Echo Valley raceway to 
240th St. (gravel) to "I" Ave.
[-or- as my dad puts it, not far east of town, half-way between the Elgin Rd. (now labeled
 "Golden Rd") and the Clermont Rd (now Hwy 18)]

Submitted by BBahnson, August 8, 1999.

Found the following names between rainstorms.  Sorry we didn’t get a chance to get all of the
stones and information down There is a big stack of old head stones in the SE corner of the 
cemetery.  It appeared that someone had replaced them with new stones, but we couldn’t be sure.
