History and Genealogy of Jasper County Iowa
Jasper County, Iowa Dearinger Cemetery Section 27, Elk Creek Township This is a very small cemetery, that originally had an acre of burial ground. Over the years land owners have encroached on the cemetery until there is a very little area left. A number of years ago several graves were removed and re-buried in Hewitt Cemetery on the East side of the Hewitt Cemetery. The only remaining graves have the surname of Dearinger. Those few graves have a fence around the graves which is located in the middle of landowners field. [Submitted by Juanita Alloway] In the book, THE CEMETERIES OF ELK CREEK TOWNSHIP, JASPER CO.
