Pendroy Cemetery is located in Summit Township, Section 16 Township 77 Range 19, at 371 160th place, Otley. The parcel number is 2243900000.

​

Just northwest of Otley off Highway 163 on a farm occupied by Glen and Mary Beyer, this cemetery was "hidden in plain sight" in the middle of a farm field on land owned for decades by the Kaldenberg family, and thereby saved. It is a small cemetery with only two remaining stones; however, it is thought that there are 5-6 other burials there.  One of those buried there is Samuel Harden who died in 1862; he has an obelisk with an anchor symbol on his stone. There is also a marble stone for John Donnel who died in 1863.

​

The Pendroys were early pioneers to Marion County in the 1850s. The cemetery was recently fenced by the Pella High School Service Day group; signage should be up by the end of the year.
