The Original cemetery joined the old town of New Cumberland which is now called Old
Town.  The Mississinewa River flows below the steep bank where this cemetery is
located.  The last wooden bridge of the county stands in sight of this plot.  The earliest
date on a stone is that of December 11, 1869.  The cemetery is being used and is a well
kept and beautiful place.

Robert Sanders.
	The above was written by the DAR in the 1940's.
