| Northfield Cemetery has been designated a Pioneer Cemetery by the Des Moines County Pioneer Cemetery Commission. |
Northfield cemetery is located in the very south east corner of Section 6E, Yellow Springs township, Des Moines county Iowa. To visit the cemetery it is best to drive north on US 61
from Burlington. Travel for 3.7 miles from the intersection of US 61 and Main Street of Mediapolis, Iowa. Turn right on
260th St. then travel for 2.8 miles. The cemetery is on your left side, just before you come to the
intersection of 260th St. and Northfield Rd. The cemetery is well kept up, contains some broken, badly deteriorated stones, and many unmarked graves. There are six Civil War veterans buried here.
Copied and checked by members of the Des Moines County Genealogical Society, Burlington, Iowa in the summer of 1975.
