Mulkey Cemetery in rural Sedgwick County near Garden Plain contains just twenty-two known burials, and possibly more that are unmarked. The last known burial here was in 1897.
Once an abandoned burial ground trampled by cattle and only touched by the county maintenance crew twice a year, the cemetery was last restored in 1989 by Kenny Scheer. He found and restored the gravestones, placed wooden markers for those who were missing markers, and mowed on a more frequent schedule. Kenny also provided signage for the cemetery.
