First Cemetery
From 6th, 1/4 mile north on Niles, then 1 1/4 miles west on 1st. This lonely cemetery was only active for about eight years, from 1878 to 1886, when it was abandoned for lacking a clear title for the land. A granite monument in the cemetery provides additional background. Research by the public library determined the causes of death for those buried here were typhoid, diphtheria, meningitis, prairie fires, murder, and being run over by a wagon.
