Marcola Cemetery Map
This is a working map of the Marcola Cemetery. Unknown year.
The Marcola Cemetery began as the Baxter family cemetery. They can be seen on the map near the top of the loop drive. Later it was renamed the Isabel Cemetery. Then it became the Mohawk Cemetery and then the IOOF Cemetery and finally the Marcola Cemetery.
Walking through this cemetery you will see much of our history. From the early farmers like the Baxters, the Fischer Brothers who ran multiple sawmills in the valley and our town namesakes Columbus and Mary Cole.
Also in the valley are these cemeterys:
Stafford Cemetery - this has the oldest marked grave in the valley, 1853 (of a young many who died en route to the valley). This is located up the drive where Sunderman joins Marcola road just below the golf course.
Valley View Cemetery on Hill road.
Wendling Cemetery on Wolf Point next to the old water towers.
Mabel Cemetery on the old German Baptist 'Dunkard' Church property. This is just right of Marcola road as you enter Mabel.
Upper Mabel Cemetery on Johnson Road. This was in the Pirtle Church yard. This has also been called Drury Cemetery.
There are references to private family burial grounds that are no longer known, such as the E. P. Hayfield family plot. Or Samuel Gray who was buried on the flat below Alford Hill. We also have documented several Native American burial sites around the valley.
If you know of a cemetery, family plot or burial site, not mentioned above, please comment.
