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

This cemetery is located in Section 1 of Sims Twp. 24 N. - R. 6 E. on 600 W. just north of N.00 S., (9th street - west of Marion about 4 miles.) Stoney Creek flows south of this cemetery.

I read this cemetery June 4, 1994. Many stones are down, and broken. Some of them were weathered so badly, I could not make out what they said, as you can see from the reading on the following pages. I left blanks where I could not make out what it said.

The place is mowed and free of weeds now. It is also free of trees and flowers and bushes. It has been totally cleared of everything. What was once, probably, a very pretty cemetery is now a lonely, barren place. I have recorded what I found there, which is 10 more readings than were recorded in the 1940's. One can just look around, and see that once there were many more markers, than are found there today.
