That could be. I have been trying to locate the Zeh cemetery too. I am sure that more than one cemetery was flodded because the Dam caused floods from Warsaw to north of Sonora. Bakers Beach is in Hamilton just as you get to the bridge to go to Keokuk.

I may be wrong but I thought the Zeh cemetery was more up around Dallas City??? More precisely Baker's Beach is just north of the dam, maybe 1/2 mile from the bridge. The cabins are all gone now but you ought to see the mansion of a house that someone is building at the north edge of that property! A far cry from the camping cabins that were there when we were kids, Shawnee. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shawnnee Ramey" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 8:13 PM Subject: Re: [ILHANCOC] Montebello > That could be.
