In August 1981, at an excavation site on the Parrott Road, about two miles west of New Haven, workers excavating for a sewer project, found a graveyard that had not been used for more than 100 years. An early Allen County history book referred to the graveyard as the Adams Cemetery. It was in a deed dated Oct. 1, 1852. Records indicate the first burial occurred in 1825, the daughter of Squire Jesse Adams on the Adams farm. In 1875, some of the graves were exhumed and re-entombed in the IOOF Cemetery on the Hartzell Road. Not visible on Google map. If you know the exact location of this cemetery please let us know.
