Civil War Era Cemetery
Afton, Union County, Iowa, USA
This single stone cemetery is located to the west of an A-Frame style home on the old Creamery Road north of Afton. One large granite marker erected by Charles Maharry in the 1920's. The inscription reads: "In Memory of the Dead Buried here-1863".
This is believed to be the first cemetery of Afton, and early newspapers refer to burial at the Afton cemetery north of town. In the early sixties, many of the burials were moved to what is now the Greenlawn cemetery three fourths of a mile northeast of Afton.
When cemetery signs were put up, the name Civil War Era Cemetery was used.
This monument is located in a field, permission should be requested from the owner of the A-Frame house before continuing up the drive to the monument.
