Other Columbia Twp Burial Sites The
following cemeteries are included here so that they do not get lost
with time. Locations are based on oral history. These burial grounds
were probably used by the early owners of the land for their immediate
family members, usually children or those that died suddenly. The
subsequent landowners may not

Cemeteryhave known of these burial grounds or refuse to acknowledge their existence and may have obliterated them. Usually these grave sites were marked using a stone from a creek bed or those removed from fields and known as fieldstones. Sometimes the stones were marked by scratching or chiseling the initials and/ or date onto the stone. The names assigned to some of these cemeteries are those of the landowners of around 1930.
