Van Gilder Cemetery

Located in the North East Corner of Section 2, Knox Township, on the Carl Ecklund Farm in what was called the Barefoot Community. Copied June 2, 1963 by Alice Cole for a family publication and loaned to the Knox County Genealogical Society for Publication.

This cemetery listing was typed by Kathy Mills and sent to Foxie for processing. I have been to the Van Gilder Cemetery and read the stones myself. There are a few that are getting unreadable. It is mowed every summer and the Ecklund's will let anyone go back there; just stop and ask Will post photos later. If you know anything or have any information on persons buried here I'd love to hear from you. .
