It is on a small hill and is very well kept. The cemetery has a marker in front with the dates 1891-1965, but people are still being buried there. The land was donated by a person who attended the old Wango Methodist Church and the plots were given free of charge. I have compiled a list of all persons buried there who have a marker, but do not know if there are unmarked graves there as well. One grave, in particular, is made of bricks and had caved in until it was refilled. That is probably not the only unmarked grave. I hope the following information maybe of help to people researching their family trees. This is up to date as of November 29, 2002. Starting at the first row on the West side of the Cemetery and working from the back to the front in each following row. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = NAME DATE OF BIRTH DATE OF DEATH NOTES ROW 1 Joan A.
