Partial Transcription of Agra Cemetery, Plum Township, Phillips County, Kansas


A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

The first burial in the tract of land later to be established as the Agra Cemetery was a man from Pennsylvania who collapsed and died of a sunstroke in August of 1887 while laying track for the railroad.  (History of Agra, compiled by Leslye Hardman Womer, 1959).  In November 1891, Charles H. and Olive Turner deeded a gift of two acres to the trustee of Agra Cemetery.  The recorded date was January 12, 1892.  An additional two-fifths of one acre was deeded to the trustee of Agra Cemetery by Charles H. and Olive M. Turner July 21, 1893.  This transaction was not recorded until January 21, 1895.  According to the History of Agra by L.H. Womer, the cemetery association purchased four more acres to the north of the cemetery.

Records of the City Clerk indicate three unknown graves.
