The Iman Cemetery is located in the Iman Rock Creek
Tracts in Section 36, T. 3 N., R. 7 E.W.M. and contains one
acre. The cemetery was established in about 1901 by Louis
Felix Iman for members of the Iman family. The cemetery is
included within the Rock Creek Tracts and is owned by Edith
Holien.
There are approximately fifty graves in the cemetery and
except for a couple of graves all are related to the Iman
family.
Mrs. McCafferty and Tonnie Lundy do most of the
maintenance on the cemetery. Mrs. McCafferty puts artificial
flowers on all the graves every year.
Mrs. McCafferty told me she would not permit anyone other
than family members to be buried in the cemetery. This is
primarily because it has always been a family cemetery and
there is limited amount of remaining ground which is not too
rocky for burial. She noted that relatives of non-family who
are now buried in the cemetery do not care for the graves.
