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


The Riley Memorial Cemetery is located in S27-T33-R12 in Washington Township, 37.1411701N latitude, -96.0824881W longitude and is on top of a hill just south of the intersection of Independence Road and County Road #26. The cemetery is a relatively new cemetery as no burial is identified before 1900 and is currently being used. There are some graves that are not identified but the number is small when compared with other rural cemeteries. The cemetery was read by Mr. Guy 6 March 1984 and was read again and photographed by Don Tharp in August 2006.

The cemetery was read in three sections A the north section, B the middle section and C the south section with the stones in each row being read north to south. Row 1 is the row closest to the north/south fence next to County Road #26. (See outline map of cemetery.)


Abbreviations used in this transcriptions are; c/o children of, d/o daughter of, inf infant, f/o father of, h/o husband of, m/o mother of, p/o parent of, s/o son of, ssw same stone with and w/o wife of.
