Located on the line of section 4 with 3 section. One map shows it going into section 3. It is to the north of H28 or 170th Street, as you drive towards Mount Union and is between Oasis Avenue and Penn Avenue. First burial was in 1870 and there are at least 80 burials. It was damaged by a tornado in 2003 and has been well repaired. Some stones were even raised up out of the ground with new bases made.

The sign to Sheridan Cemetery. From the 1895 plat map we see that the Sheridan school house sat in front of the cemetery.

The cemetery as seen from the road.

As you walk in. I believe from maps I studied that the Sheridan school sat in front of the cemetery.

Looking from the west towards the NE corner and believed to be somewhat the path of the tornado.

Looking from west back towards the road or SE.

This is one of the stones damaged by the tornado. I did not chalk it.

but believe it says Mary Deal, wife of Dr. J. Deal, ?Apr 23, 1824 - ?? 18 or 13, 1883 or 1889.

I like this black marble stones.
