ULSTER TWP.
Unknown Cemetery

This cemetery is located in Section 9 of Ulster Twp. The cemetery is covered in heavy overgrowth and in 1982 only a few of the stones were readable.

Some names were found in WPA records under the name German Lutheran Cemetery. Another source tells us that it was at one time called Mohring Cemetery.

It is possible that some graves were moved to Riverside Cemetery at Rockford, IA, at an earlier date.

According to an old history book, this cemetery was first laid out in 1854.

"WPA records have a Anna M. Lange Lindercamp, born Oct 17, 1806 in Germany; died July, 1885."  Could this be the same person?
