OLD ROCK ELM CEMETERY

The following information was taken from the monuments in the cemetery located
about one mile east of highway 183, on highway 72 (south side).  This cemetery
is in Rock Elm Township, Pierce County, and is known as the Old Rock Elm
Cemetery, the Waverly Cemetery, Rock Elm Township Cemetery and the Condit
Cemetery.  This information was gathered in 1975.  All the monuments were
recorded, however the site was deteriorated and some stones may be missing
(vandalism) and some graves were never marked by monuments, so it is not a
complete listing.  No records have been found for this cemetery.

there are no markers.  M.A. Goodnough was supposedly the first man murdered in
the Rock Elm area.
