At the West limits of the town of Creston on Highway 2, turn North onto Mountainview Road going .2 miles to the first cemetery entrance on the right hand side of the road. There are two entrances, one at the bottom of the hill and one at the top. The cemetery is fenced and the lawn is well kept. Posted by the flagpole is an alphabetical cemetery roster with a block/lot map. Several of the headstones are missing from the prior EWGS readings of 1974. A combination of the above information was used along with our actual physical reading. Earliest burial listed is 1890 but this is a fairly new cemetery with most burials in the 1900s. Walked and read by Rella and Jim Gleaton September 1 & 11,1999. Transcribed and submitted by Rella Gleaton December 14,1999. Death records are a work in progress, the following are compiled by Marge Womach. Please contact with corrections or additions.
