Happy New Year 2017 and 2018

Pioneer Cemeteries of Lucas County

There have been 47 cemeteries started, at one time or another, in Lucas County since we became a state in 1846.  Of these known 47 cemeteries, 21 have now become what are called Pioneer Cemeteries because they have had 12 or fewer burials in the past 50 years.

In 1997, the Lucas County Board of Supervisors, under a law passed in 1996 by state legislators, established a commission made up of nine members to bring these older cemeteries, many of which were totally abandoned, back in a respectable condition.  That was the beginning of the Lucas County Pioneer Preservation Commission.

We Are Back

We are trying to set up the blog site again.  Unfortunately we were hacked and all the blogs were taken off line.  Someone with the password got into the site and deleted all the blogs (18 in total).  It is sad that people want to destroy historical information that was doing them no harm, but took away the ability for others to find historical information regarding their ancestors.   If you wish to contact me you can send an email to lwilson2235@yahoo.com.

Black-Walker Pioneer Cemetery

Black-Walker Pioneer Cemetery

Ottercreek #19  54786 100th Ave.

The Walker or Black Cemetery is located on the J. R. Black farm by the Clarke-Lucas County line road in Section 19. The farm was settled by Richard M. Roberts in 1853 and acquired by Samuel Walker in 1882. Mr. Black is a descendant of Samuel and Elizabeth Manley Walker. At one time a village named Jacksonville was located in Clarke County about a half mile south of the cemetery and a Presbyterian Church stood at the northwest corner of the intersection of the county line road and the road to Jay. The Cemetery is on the western edge of the Puckerbrush community, once the Pleasant Ridge or Ottercreek #3 school district.

Many early settlers are buried here, including William and Sarah Roberts Manley who were married in Lucas County in 1853; John and Missouri Ann Haltom Mowrey, married in the county in 1857; Thomas Roberts, father of Sarah Manley and of Thomas L. and Ruben C. Roberts, who was killed in the Civil War; Spencer and Mary Haltom; John and Ava Holt; and the Walkers. The tombstones date from 1852 to 1921. The most striking features of the cemetery are the four heart shaped stones of Billy Haltom and his three wives.

To reach Walker Cemetery from Chariton, take highway 34 west to Lucas. Turn north on Highway 65 and go to H20 (or 542nd Street) crossroads at Norwood. Follow H20 and go west to 100th Avenue. Turn north and go to 54784/54786 (2 signs together) at the cemetery.

There are 88 interments here.
