COOK CEMETERY

This cemetery is located in Orange Township on the northwest 1/4 section of Section 36. 

Information submitted by Todd Walter

    As Todd gave me permission to publish his listings and restoration of older tombstones in the Cook Cemetery, I've made a link to the page. In 2001, he all by himself walked and restored older tombstones in this cemetery.  Todd deems his information to be the most accurate and correct.  They still use this cemetery to bury people in. Have photos somewhere around here and will post them at a later date.
