Read More	North Grove Cemetery History This is the story of the North Grove Cemetery as told to me by my father R. G. Priest and other older people who were familiar with the community. Jennie Priest Haroff This part of Iowa was once the home of an Indian tribe and many Indian arrows and other artifacts have been picked up in this area. The hill on which the cemetery is located was once an Indian burying ground. At the time there was no road on the north side of the cemetery. After the Mormons were driven out of Nauvoo, Illinois and started there trek to Utah, part of them were buried on the hill. The early settlers too, buried on this hill. The graves were marked by wooden boards painted white with black letters, but in time they rotted and the site of graves could not be determined. At some time a road was made on the north side of the cemetery and human bones were found, some of Indians and some white people.The difference was determined by the finding of Indian artifacts with some of the bones. These bones were put in boxes and reburied. The white people on the south side of the road and the Indians on the north side. The cemetery was surveyed by county surveyor Seth Dean on the first and second days of October 1886. Good burr oak stakes were driven a four corners of all lots. Another survey was made on Nov. 6, 1923 by B. L. Gray, county surveyor and a civil engineer as an addition was made at that time. From a 1910 atlas of Mills county and Fremont county, I found that Mills county was organized and given its name in 1851. Townships were organized and then reorganized in 1857, and there has been an Indian village in the area and a creek running from east to west, emptying into the Nishna Botna River. The name of Indian Creek was given to the township and the creek was known as Indian Creek. Jennie P. Haroff This information was taken from the cemetery's directory located going in the west entrance it would be near the end of the drive on the right hand side of the road.
