German M. E. Cemetery

Rush County, KS

This cemetery is located three miles south of Alexander, on the Alexander to Burdett blacktop, and then one mile east. There are four headstones in this small graveyard. Apparently there was a German M. E. Church located very near, but it is no longer standing. The name is from the attached obituaries, if it has another designation, I am unaware of it.
