Peace Valley Cemetery is where movie and television character actor Dabbs Greer is buried, in fact just a short distance from this pump. Of the 11 pumps I had waymarked prior to this one, only 2 of them worked, so I was surprised to find that this one worked fine; also considering the rather odd placement of the pump so near graves. My wife took a photo of me running water from the pump.

On the stem of the pump is the name BAKER MFG. CO. / EVANSVILLE WI, which company still exists. The pump is in prime condition. Yuck, yuck!

Is it Working: yes

Good place to park: N 36° 40.671 W 094° 26.503

Drive into the main entrance of the Peace Valley Cemetery and continue ahead about 95 feet. The pump is to your immediate right.
