Jimmy, There is a story with that old Church. A farmer 1 day was plowing his field right down the hill side from the Cemetery. He has stopped to go in to eat lunch and asked what was going on up at the old church? They told him why did he ask.. he said he had seen people leaving the church and heading to the cemetery right across the road is why he asked... He then was told that the doors had been boarded up for sometime and nothing or no one ever goes in to the church.

Uimmy that is sure really spooky!! Is the church still standing or was it torn down? I have been told by my brother that at the old Graceland and Floyd parrk Cemeteries here in Sioux city, that people have seen ghosts walking through the cemeteries. A fridn alsotold me that thereis a house between14thand 16th and Grnadview Streets tht is haunted. A carpenter was working on the restoration of the old house and he got spooked, and he told the new owners to find someone else to work on the house.

That cemetery is the Floyd park 1 there in Sioux City and I knew some people that lived in the house of the carpenter also. They did not live there long either Santee1954 Uimmy that is sure really spooky!! Is the church still standing or was it torn down?
