The Maple Grove Cemetery is located to the south of Tonganoxie, KS, just beyond the location of the Oak Hill farm, on US Highway 24 (see the "finding aids" at the base of this page). The front part of the cemetery complex (nearest the highway) is the traditional "black" cemetery; the largest, center portion is the Protestant Maple Grove cemetery, while the rearmost part is the Catholic Sacred Heart cemetery. There are two Needham family plots, labeled on the aerial photo below as "A" and "B".
