EOFF CEMETERY

On Sanrodee Drive SE, East on State Street, about 1/4 mile east of Howell
Prairie Rd. Permission should be obtained to visit the cemetery.  This cemetery
was originally enclosed with a rail fence, but this was replaced in 1958 with
woven fence and steel posts. It is on the John Leonard Eoff Donation Land
Claim.  When Jerry Miller read this cemetery in 1958 he found evidence of more
graves than there were markers for.

Possible burials

MULKEY, Thersia/Tirza, born 14 Jan 1837, died Feb/Mar 1867

She is named on the marker with her husband, Charles J. Mulkey, at the
Lewis Cemetery.   However, descendants of this couple say she was not
buried at Lewis but in a cemetery, at, or near, Macleay.  Oral
tradition of how  to locate the cemetery where she was buried fits the
location of Eoff  Cemetery.  Reportedly there were 2 women buried in
the same lot with her, but their identities are not known.  Possibly
one of them could be her daughter, Sarah Jane, who died 23 Feb 1878 at
age 15, as she is not included of the records of Lewis cemetery, nor
does the family known anything about her burial.
