About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This unmarked grave was a single burial in a pasture. Ruth A. NEWMAN was the daughter of Lyman B. and Elizabeth (MEAD) CHASE whose farm home was located in Section 17 where this grave was located. Ruth became gravely ill. Evidently sensing her numbered days, she said as she looked out a window ... "If I die bury me over there under that oak tree in the green pasture." According to History of Decatur County (CHASE biography, p. 662) she died in her 19th year, and left a husband and one son.

About 1955, this land was bulldozed and the tombstone was found and placed along a fence. Today the marker cannot be located.

Additional information from Karla GUNZENHAUSER of Garden Grove, Iowa: "The Doze and Newman Cemeteries are the same cemetery. The Doze or Newman cemetery is on land that was first owned by Victor DOZE. It was the first piece of land sold in Decatur County by the U. S. Government. It was purchased in 1849.
