From Broadway, Prairie Grove Cemetery is 1 ¼ miles west on Main (becomes Lake). Born in Cottonwood Falls, Dudley Doolittle (1881-1957) was a three term U.S. congressman and, among other positions, held the unenviable post of Federal Prohibition Director for Kansas in 1920. He erected a tall rough cut granite obelisk in honor of his parents, Joseph and May Doolittle, in Prairie Grove Cemetery. Plaques on either side of the monument share character descriptions of each parent. Also buried in the cemetery is Stephen Fuqua (Steve) Jones of Spring Hill Ranch, which is now part of the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve.
