To reach this cemetery from the corner of W. Pretty Prairie Road

"The Lerado Cemetery began in 1877 with one small grave, the
infant daughter of J.F. Martins was buried on his homestead.
A short time later another tiny grave was placed nearby, Olive
Ely, daughter of M.S. Ely. the Martins and Elys were early settlers
in this area. other stones appeared to mark the final resting
place of both young and old, and the Lerado Cemetery Association
was formed in 1885. Although this cemetery in located in south
western Reno County many of the early Kingman County pioneers
are buried here." - from cemetery sexton record book
