VAN GILDER CEMETERY
Located in the North East Corner of Section 2, Knox Township, on the Carl Ecklund Farm in what was called the Barefoot Community. Copied June 2, 1963 by Alice Cole for a family publication and loaned to the Knox County Genealogical Society for Publication.
This cemetery listing was typed by Kathy Mills and sent to
Foxie for processing. I have been to the Van Gilder Cemetery and read the
stones myself. There are a few that are getting unreadable. It is
mowed every summer and the Ecklund's will let anyone go back there; just stop
and ask Will post photos later. If you know anything or have any information on
persons buried here I'd love to hear from you.

& I took another trip to Van Gilder cemetery on April 21, 2007, and I we retook
the tombstone photos in this cemetery. Some of them are in various of stages of
some care from some descendants. If you would like a copy of any of the
tombstones as right now do not have time to put on the net. email at my doggie
above and I will send you instructions on how to get your copy of the tombstone.
Thanks! You will be able to see from some of the overview photos below the
conditions of the stones in the cemetery. It gets mowed yearly but that is it.
