Located South of Columbus City, Iowa, on T Avenue. The sign is visible on the west side of the road. The cemetery is back behind a field.
The name locally for this cemetery is Bretz. However in the 1930s it was recorded and entered as Rahmiller in the files of the Iowa WPA grave transcription project. Nearly all the burials said to be at Rahmiller in the WPA grave transcription project are at what is now known as Bretz.
In Google maps, it is listed at Hayes Cemetery for unknown reasons.
An interesting note that may further confuse: A former owner of the land where the Bretz Cemetery is located also referred to this cemetery as Pretz Cemetery. This is likely because a farmhouse not far away on a 'century' farm is called Pretz Farm. The former owner of this land also relates that the land where the cemetery sits was originally owned by Barstow Williams (thought to be Gamaliel Barstow Williams, whose two wives, father, a daughter, and one son-in-law are buried at this cemetery).
