    1. Macksburg Cemetery location?
    2. Nathan Haines Sr.
    3. Hi all, In my last message I indicated that I tracked down the Granddaughter of the family member that was buried in the "Macksburg Cemetery" that I have been looking for. I called her this morning and had a very wonderful conversation with her. She is a really nice person. She said that her Grandparents are buried in the Zion Cemetery in Canby! She said she has never heard of a Macksburg Cemetery either. Now I am going to do a little bit more research to see if I can determine if Zion Cemetery was ever referred to as the Macksburg Cemetery ever before in the past or if there is some other reason for this. Maybe a few people thought of it as the Macksburg Cemetery because that was where people who died in Macksburg were taken for burial? Who knows? That would be one guess. It may be that someone misinformed the Canby newspaper, more then once, as to where some one was going to be buried too? Anyway, that is that mystery solved, for the most part anyway. It appears that at least a few people called the Zion Cemetery the Macksburg Cemetery. I will also contact the Zion Cemetery to see if the custodial person there has ever heard of it being called the Macksburg Cemetery. Nathan
