However, after comparing the names listed here, it appears that the IOOF cemetery is a merely a section of the Rush Springs Cemetery. All the names that appear on this list and one submitted by Maggie Wettengel for the Rush springs cemtery seems to indicate that the IOOF cemetery was what is now known as North Public Block One & North Public Block Two. One Name (E Hovis is listed in South Public Block One. NPB1 & NPB2 are located in the northwest corner of the cemetery. The Veteran's memorial in on the southeast corner of NPB1.
