The Clayton Cemetery is located in Sec 36, T 3 S, R 26 W, Garfield Township,
Decatur County KS. From Clayton KS it is 1 1/4
miles north and 1/4 mile west on gravel roads.
It was established in 1882. It is tax supported and
maintained by a cemetery board consisting of Weldon Brooks (president),
John Gallentine (secretary/treasurer), David Ward (sexton), Mike Cook,
and Chuck Griffith. Ruby Cook is the caretaker. In the 1930's all
cemetery records were destroyed in a fire, resulting in numerous unknown
and unmarked graves. The records contained on this web site were compiled by Ann
V. Gallentine from existing gravestones and known unmarked graves in May 2007.
Stones of living persons have been omitted. There may be mistakes
due to human error. This information is to be used for personal research only.
Use of the material for profit or presentation must have the written permission
of Ann V. Gallentine.
