A pioneer cemetery which means no burials in last fifty years.

From Greenmound Church take Clayton Avenue south and cross 170th street traveling to the site of the old

Eagle School Building. Below is a picture of the old school as it looks today.

Take the mud farmer's lane and travel west and then southwest across a meadow. It is steep, rocky and rutted.

It is said there are 25 burials here but there are only eight currently with markers standing.

First burial found was in 1850.

Up against the west fence you find
