Wild Rose West Cemetery History Excerpt

The following is an excerpt regarding one of the Wild Rose district cemeteries, Wild Rose West, from Footprints of Our Pioneers, a locally compiled history book:

The Wild Rose West Cemeteryby Albert Pugh 

The Wild Rose West Cemetery is located in the southwest corner of Section 10-[50]-2-W3. The first person who as laid to rest in 1919 was Mr Jesse Canfield, father of the late George S. Canfield. There are 51 plots used at the present time. It is two acres in size. The fence has been removed as it was serving no useful purpose and hindered grass cutting. 

The first officers were Joseph Marshall, Barney Butler, and Henry Miller. The first recorded organization meeting was in 1952 when Bill Marshall was elected secretary and caretaker supervisor, followed by Thomas Gale and Charles Bruce at the present time. 

It may come to the attention of some of us why our community needed two cemeteries. One reason is that the north one was subject to flooding in spring and therefore not usable in wet periods.
