Burials at Greenwood Cemetery, Muscatine  IA
Donated by Greenwood Cemetery Office
This data partially online.  The database is quite large but as it was the office records it does not always contain birth/death dates, but more often burial dates.  You can request further information from the office CARD FILE if you find your ancestor buried here.  PLEASE CHECK THE ONLINE SECTIONS FIRST BEFORE REQUESTING LOOKUPS IN THIS DATABASE

Burials at Blue Grass Cemetery, Scott Co. IA
Some Muscatine families stretched across into Scott County and Sandra Tennyson has offered to check the records of the Blue Grass Cemetery in Blue Grass for burials. (I know at least one person already found several "Muscatine" family members buried there). Sandra DOES travel some so if you don't receive an answer right away, don't panic. She WILL get to you when she is at home! Her family are the caretakers of the cemetery so you'll be getting the information directly from the cemetery records! Please limit requests to one surname at a time please!
Email Sandra Tennyson Thanks cuz!!

Because the book is over 600 pages and not indexed, lookups should be limited to families you are fairly sure were in this area
