New Salem, Kansas Elrods
New Salem or Salem, Kansas.
While researching for Lillie Dale Jennings who married an Albert Elrod, I went to a cemetery in Salem, Kansas to find Lillie Dale Jennings father's (Joseph Jennings, who fought in an Ohio Infantry Civil War Unit) grave. I had found an obit listing the grave in New Salem, Kansas. I found the cemetery on the side of the 2 lane highway between Burden and Salem, Kansas. It had lots of Elrod graves located there. I plan on going back in the next few months to canvas the cemetery. If Elk county has any formal cemetery books, I have not been able to locate them. Does anyone have a twig on their tree of Lillie D. Jennings Elrod? Would love to know where her Mother, Harriett Cooper Jennings is buried. Is anyone researching Elrods in Salem, Kansas? Do you have any records of the cemetery there? Or, if you are searching for people in this area and want a list of the Elrods in that cemetery, please email me the list of names and when I go back to canvas the cemetery, I can look for your specific name.
Thank you for your time,
