The
cemetery will remain open for burials well into the next century.
Recorded burials are from 1879 to 2003 and will continue. Most of
the burials are of Welsh descent. Some family members buried have
parents, grandparents, great grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts
and uncles. |

The
cemetery is managed by a board of five officers elected by family
members. The church and cemetery has been managed by a board of directors
since their conception in 1881.
A trust fund which was started May 19, 1970 was established to care
for the Postville Cemetery, using only the annual interest for expense
each year. This trust fund continues to grow through the yearly family
members donation, memorial, and estate givings. |

The
cemetery is mowed several times a year. On Memorial Day weekend, five
large U.S. Flags are flown for the five war veterans buried in the
cemetery.
Since 1991 several family members have donated and planted trees in
the cemetery grounds in memory of a family member buried in the cemetery.
The trees are a mixture of different kinds and this will result in
a beauty of different colors in the years to come. |
