History on McDonald Cemetery
Sec 13 Evan twp Kingsman
MCDONALD (Sec 13 Evan twp.) near Mount Vernon. The McDonald family gave the land for the cemetery which bears their name. The first burial was Alexander McDonald (1883).
It is no longer in use.
The earliest pioneers on the move toward the Western Frontier and other newsettlers in Kingman County were faced with death of dear ones and the matter of burial, where there were few or no cemeteries. There is no way to tell how many graves, with no monument or durable sort of marker, there may have been out on the prairie. There are numerous cemeteries in the county, most of which are well maintained and still used today. Fortunately their record keepers have kept accurate facts and figures through the years.
