Martz or Steverson Cemetery
The memory of most men is an abandoned cemetery where lie, unsung and unhonored, the dead whom they have ceased to cherish.
Any lasting grief is reproof to their forgetfulness.
~Marguerite Yourcenar
"Abandoned Cemetery located 1 mile east then 1 mile south of Monroe, Indiana, back in a field on the Joseph Schwartz farm, Monroe Township. Copied September 22, 1959.
The plot fenced in is three times the size of the space occupied by these graves, so there may have been more buried here but no grave markers now."
