Less than a half mile, turn right into the Environmental Discovery Center park. Follow signs to the cemetery. The cemetery is located on the grounds of Muscatine County Environmental Discovery Center, 3300 Cedar Street, Muscatine, Iowa. All that remained here, in this forgotten Potter's Field, were 86 numeric, cast iron markers, just stuck in the ground. All burial records had been lost. Through research, members of the Muscatine County Genealogical Society were able to prove 157 people of Muscatine County were laid to rest here. The first burial was in 1907 and the last in 1965. A monument was set in place in December, 1998. The dedication reads: To those you who passed this way... and lie beneath this sod we salute you now and remember your life and leave you to rest with God. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Surname First Name Death Date Allensworth Anvie C. 8 Oct 1950 Anderson Daniel M. 17 Aug 1949 Aurelio F. 8 Sep 1913 Bacome H.
