Arkalon Cemetery

Seward County, Kansas

This cemetery started in 1880 is currently in use at this time and is somewhat maintained. This cemetery is off the beaten path and is located from Liberal on Hwy 54 starting at last stoplight heading East 6.3 miles and then turning left off Hwy 54 onto O road and crossing set of RR tracts and continues 2.7 miles and cemetery is on your right hand side. This road is sandy and the area is snakey (rattlers) and visitors need to use caution when visiting the area during warm months.
The remains of Arkalon (R-K-len) can be seen from the cemetery and all that is left standing is an old school house and a blacksmith shed. This abandon town is about 2 miles from the cemetery and is gated off to trespassers. Photos of the cemetery and school are available on this website. I myself walked and documented this cemetery on April 23,2002 and recorded the following names. The record keeping for this cemetery is poor and if you personally know and have proof of a person buried here and I don't have that person listed, please feel free to contact Laura Youtsey-Ball to make corrections, as there are several unknowns in this cemetery without names or dates and we would like to make sure that we get everyone listed that needs to be.
