Hays Township Cemetery
Hays Township
Hays Township, Reno County, Kansas



Hays Township Cemetery is located from Highway 14 go about 12 miles west on Fourth Avenue & 1 mile south on Netherland Road, then about 1/2 mile west on Clark Road. (or) From Highway 50 near Sylvia go about 5 miles north on Netherland Road, then about 1/2 mile west on Clark Road. It sits on the north side of the road.

Marking the entrance is an old arched iron sign that reads "Hays Twsp Cemetery". The cemetery actually sits approximately the length of a football field from the road. It is surrounded by a fence, farm & grass land. This is well maintained & appears to still be active.
