History of Woodland Church and Graveyard

Woodland church was organized about 1870-72. The frame building was erected at a cost of about $2000. Some of the first members were Jas. E. Bohart, Richard P. Funk, Soloman Welton, J. W. Bradley and A. J. Roberts. Among the earlier ministers who served the church were Elders Josiah Waller, Baird Waller, William Stephens, John Perkins, T. Trader and Revs. Williamson and Akers. About 20 years ago after the church became quite delapidated a windstorm razed the building. Nearby is the church graveyard, plainly seen from highway No. 10, about ten miles east of Liberty.

Woodland Cemetery

Located east half of northwest quarter, section 29, township 52, and range 30.
