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.
A map that's up on the back of my door reminding me of what wonders I have to look forward to. Around it are quotes I have came upon. My favorite is "the world is like book, if you don't travel you only read one page".
My flat mate's turtle, put it together in 15 min. From taking the picture to editing it and uploading it.
An old map of train lines throughout Japan with a new political poster on top. Found near Yokohama station.
Although not able to explore inside the buildings, this facility in Mexico, MO was still cool to see.
Originally the Mexico Fire Brick and Fire Clay Company, founded in either the early 1900's or late 1800's, I am not sure which, it was purchased in 1910 by A.P. Green for a whopping $85,000 and became the A.P. Green Fire Brick Company. Five years later, when the company became incorporated, the value of the equipment and facility had risen to over $200,000. This plant was one of the world's leading producers of brick, and bricks from this plant were even used in the boilers of Navy warships. The military awarded the Army-Navy "E" for Excellence and Maritime "M" to the A.P. Green Company in recognition for its achievements during WWII. Bricks from this factory even line the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. In it's heyday, over 2,000 people were employed and nearly everyone in the town of Mexico could hear the whistle blow for shift changes. Unfortunately in 2002, the plant closed down. A new company by the name of Mid America Brick came by an in 2009, purchased the facility for $9.7 million. Mid America did not last long. In 2013, Mid America filed for bankruptcy and the site was again abandoned. Now the assets are owned by Shamrock Proppants' and the site lies mostly abandoned.
