Transcribed from Mr. G. Herman Guy's Cemeteries in Chautauqua County, Kansas


The Crum Cemetery is in one corner of Section 5, Township 32, Range 12 in LaFayette Township on the county road from Sedan to Longton. The map coordinates are 37.2894945N latitude and -96.1186023W longitude. The cemetery is used today and is well cared for with a nice old rock wall around it. The earliest burial appears to be that of Milton Okerson who died 12 Apr 1871. There is evidence of several unmarked graves and there are several stones that are no longer legible. This cemetery was read in May 1984 by G. Herman Guy and photographed and read again by Judy Tolbert and Don Tharp in September 2006.


The gate on the north side divides section A and B. Section A is east of the gate and section B is west of the gate. The graves were read starting at the northeast corner of each section proceeding south in each row. That is, grave A01-01 is the north grave site on the extreme east side of the cemetery and A01-02 would be the next grave site south of it. Like wise, grave B01-01 is the north grave in the first row west of the gate with B01-02 immediately south of it. (See outline map of cemetery.)

Abbreviations used in this transcriptions are; c/o children of, d/o daughter of, inf infant, f/o father of, h/o husband of, m/o mother of, p/o parent of, s/o son of, ssw same stone with and w/o wife of.>
