El Cado Cemetery

Peru, Kansas

El Cado Cemetery is located south of Peru and Niotaze, Kansas. It is very close to the Oklahoma border and west of Caney. Here is a map of southeastern Chautauqua County, Kansas. The red X marks the location of the cemetery. Be prepared to drive on several miles of unpaved roads. It's worth the drive. The cemetery sits on a hill with beautiful old cedar trees and a scenic view of many miles of prairie. The wind always seems to blow.

	Looking east. Right marker is for August and Eva Marlow. The marker on the left is for Eva's mother, Sarah Darnall, 1860 -1923. (Note - Sarah's grave marker gives the spelling - Darnell, but this is apparently an error. Descendants say that the spelling is Darnall)
