Highview cemetery to expand
Board members Ed Baker, Myrna Sieler, Frank Osmin and Marilyn Childers sign the agree-
ment to purchase 25 acres for the Ione cemetery.
The Highview ceme-
tery in Ione recently pur-
chased 25 acres to add to
the cemetery. According
to a source, the Ione-Lex-
ington Cemetery District
has been attempting to buy
the property from the Odd
Fellows for many years and
was recently able to come
to an agreement for the
purchase.
The land was deeded
to the Ione Lodge No. 135,
Independent Order of Odd
Fellows as “An act to autho-
rize the sale of public land
for cemetery purposes” by
President Warren G. Hard-
ing on the “Eighteenth day
of November in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and twenty-one”
stated the document from
nearly 100 years ago. (See
below)
According to an
Ione-Lexington Cemetery
District board member, the
addition of the land will
ensure the Ione cemetery
will have plenty of space
for many more years.
