This page is dedicated to the memory of Joyce McNeil Munson, who passed away in 2002. Joyce was the co-founder of Polk County Connections, a project aimed at documenting the cemeteries of Polk County for the use of researchers worldwide.
Beverly Munson Tucker Evins shared her mother’s dream of seeing all of the cemeteries in Polk County surveyed and accessible online. While some cemeteries remain unlocated or unsurveyed, the majority are listed on the cemetery page provided by Beverly. The information shared here is vital for researchers seeking genealogical data. The Polk County Connections website, created by Beverly and Joyce, has become an invaluable resource for genealogists, providing material that would otherwise be inaccessible to distant researchers.
