About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

McKeever Cemetery is located in Section 23, Poweshiek Township, Jasper County, Iowa. It is on the West side of Highway 117 N and N 19th Ave W. The "legal" name is Poweshiek Cemetery, but it is more commonly known as McKeever Cemetery. John Culbertson homesteaded the land in 1849 and sold it to A. H. Cummings. A warranty deed dated 13 April 1854 shows A.H. Cummings gave two acres to the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church, for the purpose of erecting a house of worship. Plans were in the making to build a church on property, so burials were made at the North edge of the plot leaving room for the church to be built. A. H. Cummings sold his land in 1855 to Reuben McKeever. Stones in the cemetery indicate that when McKeever bought the land there were already several graves there.
