Dan Fenton of Jackson County researched this cemetery in March 2003. Here is his findings:

Thomson / Burns Cemetery southeast quarter of section 23 in Straight Creek Township. It is about 100 feet up a dirt one lane road leading north into a cultivated field, on the east side. There seems to be two or three rows of graves running north and south, containing at least twenty memorial stones, most are not on their foundations and many are unreadable. There is one pillar stone for Richard M. Burns still upright.
----------
2010 information and headstone photos from Nina Kaul, and Frank and Florence Winters, all of Jackson Co. Nina and Florence are sisters.
---------------
The Steel Gate was installed by the Holton Kansas Lion's Club in 2010 as a service project.
----------------
The Holton Recorder had an article on October 5, 2011, by staff writer Ali Holcomb about extensive work done on the cemetery restoring stones; fencing; and removing brush by volunteers and stone work by Strube Monument Service. Honor is brought back to those departed brothers and sisters ! www.holtonrecorder.com then click the Online tab.
