Information was transcribed and posted from the book "Both Feet in the Grave", published in 1991
with permission from the author, Juanita Koskan.
Location:
Section 36, Township 40N, Range 33W - Black Pipe Township
History:
The Red Leaf Cemetery is quite small. It is fenced but the tall grass makes it hard to find the few remaining headstones (4). There are approximately 30 depressions. The cemetery was established in 1897 by Poor Thunder and only two families used it up to 1940. There is a recent burial but very little evidence that anyone comes to visit very often. It is beside the road so access is easy.
This cemetery was also called St. Stephen or the Poor Thunder Cemetery.
