Section 26 - Home Township - Turner County
- South Dakota |
This cemetery was allowed to fall into sad neglect
for many years following the last burial in 1921. In 1984 an
Eagle Scout from Tea, South Dakota
named Curt DeYoung adopted the cemetery for a project. Curt and
his family, and the relatives of those buried in the cemetery worked
for many hours
and days mowing, removing lilac bushes and repairing and re-setting
grave markers. Curt and his family still maintain this piece of
silent prairie, silent
except for wind rustling in the grass, birds singing from the barb
wire fence, and an occasional car passing on the paved road.
