OAKLAND CEMETERY MAIN
The Oakland Cemetery at Waukon, Iowa is at the south end of the city on State Highways
9/76. Originally described as an entity in a Waukon Standard newspaper item in the
May 16, 1892 issue, which stated that the Waukon Cemetery would thereafter be known
as the Oakland Cemetery. This cemetery comprises the original Waukon Cemetery,
including the "1920 Addition" (shown as part of the original cemetery on a plat
of September 20, 1875, the St. John's Addition (Lutheran) probably acquired by
the Waukon Burying Ground Association in early 1927, the German Addition, conveyed
by Warranty Deed on July 1, 1927 by the Waukon Burying Ground Association, and
"Alleys" created by establishing burial lots in spaces between existing lots in
the four other entities and by renumbering some existing lots.
