I have descendents buried in Salem Cemetery near Moravia, Iowa. I would like to learn the location of the cemetery, and information about location of graves inasmuch as I would like to visit same in the near future. Thank you.

My whole family is from the Moravia, IA area. What do you need to know?

Default Salem Cemetary location

I have family members buried in this cemetary as well. I found it by going north on route 5 from Centerville Iowa towards Moravia. At the blinking warning light you turn left (west) on route J18 which is away from Moravia. Moravia is right (east) on J18.

You go a couple of miles down and the cemetary is on the left (south) side of the road.

Your family surname isn't Brees by any chance is it?

Thanks, John H

Another resource to try is Find A Grave - Millions of Cemetery Records Volunteers there will photograph cemeteries and many cemeteries are already online. Also Appanoose County, Iowa GenWeb Cemeteries (http://www.rootsweb.com/~iaappano/cemeteries.htm - broken link) Unfortunately, Appanoose county was not indexed in the WPA graves project Iowa WPA Graves Registration Survey but that is a great resource for many other counties.
