Cemetery is on the left. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Surveyed November 21, 2003 by Karen Taylor, genekaren@htcomp.net ---------------------------------------------------------------- HISTORICAL MARKER (1994) This Cemetery, probably named for noted pioneer educator D.R. Wood, was established with the 1858 burial of Sarah E. Shipman, wife of prominant local rancher, John. K. Shipman. More than 20 additional burials were recorded before John Shipman deeded 11.5 acres here for the cemetery, church, and school purposes in 1877. The Cemetery contains grave sites of many area pioneer settlers and their descendants and Veterans of The Civil War and World Wars I and II. Wood Cemetery remains active and is maintained by an association of descendants of persons buried here. --------------------------------------------------------------- Many fieldstone marked graves, rock enclosed graves, and many broken, unreadable stones are in this cemetery. --------------------------------------------------------------- Young, Isaac L. 3-26-1870 4-25-1937 Young, Eld.
