HISTORY: According to the Delaware County Historical Society, this cemetery was donated to the township by Alfred B. Strong. Historian Thomas Helm on the history of Delaware Township: "At an early date, there were several interments near the junction of Mud Creek with the Mississinewa, and this spot afterward became a public burial-ground. In later years, however, many of the bodies were taken from this place and re-interred in the cemetery donated to the township by Alfred B. Strong."
