L.C. Jarvis Cemetery
(Road #1137; Swan Quarter Twp.)

This cemetery is in the middle of a field. If the crops are up, one might not be able to see it. Best time to see it is during the winter or spring before the crops are put in. A lot of the gravestones are broken. The names below with red asterisks beside them indicate an unmarked grave but other records indicate they were buried in this cemetery so they are included here. Photographed and submitted by Betsy Olkowski.
