Cross Reformed or Hoffstetter Cemetery
I've got too many of my friends that retired and went home and got on a rocking chair,
and about a year and a half later, I'm always going to the cemetery.
~ Red Adair
On northeast corner of County Road 150 West (Old Winchester Road) and County Road 850 South in Wabash Township. The Kross Reformed Church was organized on this spot on December 12, 1869.
David Zmutt gave land from his farm for both the church and the cemetery in 1869. There are more names on the Church Records of Deaths than are found in the cemetery.
