Fugate Cemetery
Decatur County, Iowa, USA
History: The Fugate Cemetery is located along the river bluffs on a farm where the Fugates lived, later known as the Drake farm. There are eight graves in this abandoned cemetery along the north fence. There are no tombstones, but there are limestone rocks, taken out of the bluffs, used as markers.
Fugate Cemetery was discontinued when the Moore Cemetery was started just across the line in Missouri. Mrs. Keith Moore, owner of this land in 1974, stated that someone has been digging for relics there, mistakenly thinking it was an Indian burial ground.
