PLASKA CEMETERY

This cemetery lies about 3 miles northwest of what was the Plaska community.  The land was never 
deeded as a cemetery.  Decades ago the owner turned livestock in on the 2 or 3 acres that it covers.  
Apparently all the descendants of those interred there had moved away for no one protested the 
action.  As years went by, stones were overturned, weeds grew higher, and dirt collected over
 the monuments.  Now only the following three are visible.  No trace is left of those that are 
undoubtedly buried under soil and weeds.  People who lived in the area many years ago recall 
there were ten to twenty, perhaps more monuments.  There were probably originally several 
unmarked or poorly marked graves.		

Cope, Wiley H.					Oct 2, 1821	Feb 9, 1899		
	Ditto, W. T.  (Woodman of the World marker)	July 18, 1873	June 16, 1917		

Peden, Infant Daughter of D. S. & Beatrice		June 27, 1914	June 27, 1914

Recently, in Hall County death records the following was found.  At that date, death records did not give birth date.
