EAST HOME  PRAIRIE

Des Moines Township, Van Buren County, Iowa
Section 21

East Home Prairie is one of the smaller cemeteries not among those indexed by the
Van Buren County Genealogical Society.
You will find a listing of their available cemetery books on their
web site.

This burial place is just north of Highway 2, Section 21 of Des Moines Township.  It is at the site of the abandoned town of East Home Prairie.  (See History of Van Buren County Towns, present and former, a supplement to Van Buren County Cemetery Inscriptions.)  Maps show a Methodist Church at this site. At  one time there was also a school, and a Post Office for over thirty years.

The single tall monument is not visible from the highway as there ls a circle drive to and from the pavement to reach the graves.
