CALOMA CEMETERY

Caloma Cemetery is located in Franklin Township Section 29 Township 75 Range 21 in the 200 block of Pioneer Street, 1/2 mile east of 20th Place, about 6 miles northwest of Dallas. The parcel number is 0364000100.

Pioneer Street is now a dead-end gravel road, closed east of the cemetery. At the intersection to the west was the former town of Caloma with stores, post office, and a school. Some of the gravestones have been restored by laying them flat on a concrete pad. There is a large, new stone for Alexander and Louisa Dobbins, 1875 and 1876, respectively. Louisa's name was illegible when recorded in the 1976 Marion County cemetery book.

There are about 40 gravestones in the cemetery. Signage was added at the cemetery in April 2021.
