Bunker Hill Cemetery
Elk County, Kansas


The Bunker Hill cemetery is located in Union Center Township S8 - T29s - R10e. The coordinates are 373227N and 0962006W. One can drive north from Howard on Kansas highway #99 for about 5 miles to Quail road, turn west on Quail and drive 4 1/2 miles to the end of Quail, turn south for 1/2 mile and the cemetery is on the east side of the road. The cemetery is well kept, but no longer used for new burials. The cemetery was read by Mildred Martin and Ila Beaumont in 1981 and was read and photographed by Don Tharp in January 2007.

To assist in finding a specific grave site, the cemetery has been arbitrarily mapped in rows, with the row closest to the west fence being designated row #1. In each row the first grave site on the south end of a row was noted as #1 and the sites were then numbered progressively from south to north. That is, the south most marker on the west row is number 01-01 with the next site north of it numbered 01-02.

Pictures of the grave markers are available as .jpg files. If you would like a picture, one can be forwarded to you free of charge via an email attachment. However, be aware that inscriptions on some markers are not legible or very difficult to read just as some are when viewed at the cemetery.
