Transcribed from Mr. G. Herman Guy's Cemeteries in Chautauqua County, Kansas


The Alford Cemetery is one that is difficult to find! There is no road leading to it, except a foot path. It is located in S5 - T34 - R12 in Sedan Township. The cemetery was mowed and had a fence around it. The earliest burial was that of Joseph Baker who died 15 Mar 1872. No burials since 1901. There were several graves without markers, or unreadable. Two large laid up rock mounds indicate graves but no markers. Read on 18 June 1984 by G. Herman Guy.
