St. John's Cemetery


St. John's Episcopal Cemetery
Republican Twp.
Clay Co., Kansas



St. John's Episcopal Cemetery, located in the NW quarter of Section 3 of Republican Twp., and approximately three miles west of Wakefield, was surveyed October 16, 2003 by Sheryl, Megan and Andy McClure. This cemetery was adjacent to the St. John's Episcopal Church, which was founded in 1874 to serve the large English population in Republican and Union townships. The cemetery is small and at the time of this survey, slightly overgrown with weeds and tall grass. There appear to be a few broken-off stones and unmarked graves; some stones were weather-worn and difficult to read. The transcriber apologizes for any errors.
