| History: Also, known as Woodland Cemetery. Jacob L. and Jane Lentz moved to Woodland Township in the fall of 1853 from Ohio. Their infant son who was born in Ohio, died the following spring and was buried on the family farm. Later they deeded one acre of this land to Woodland township for use as a cemetery. Jacob's father, Erhard Lentz was a drummer for Napoleon when he was defeated at Waterloo, France. In 1959, the Des Moines Register carried an article with photos on Erhard. There are many burials without stones and the cemetery is almost filled. |
