Old
French Church and Cemetery - Woolstock, Iowa
August 2007
- My Father recently related his visit to the Old French
Church, east of Woolstock, Iowa. I visited several
weeks later and collected photos.
The Old
French Church is three miles east of
Woolstock, Iowa on County Road C-70, also known as 330th
Street. The Church and Cemetery sit on hill
overlooking a stream.
The Cemetery
has many Grandgeorge grave markers. Below are several
pictures of the markers of my predecessors.
