Entswood Cemetery

Transcribed by Robin Hixon

Library Reference of SEK Library System found in Allen County, Iola Public Library. Title: Some Cemeteries Surrounding Allen County in Bourbon Neosho Wilson and Woodson Counties; 'GEN 929.5 Some'.

The following is taken from the library reference: 'The name Enswood was derived from the names of the families of whose land or property line the cemetery was located on. The family names were Ensminger and Woodcock (information from Clifford Abbey).' This reference lists cemetery name as ENSWOOD not Entswood as sign displays.
