Orleans Township Section 5, T2N R1E. Abandoned.

The will of William Magner, probated Feb. 1, 1856, mentions the family graveyard, which is "to be reserved forever" and gives the location in north west quarter of Section 5, etc. The little fenced plot is near the old homestead, and is covered with vines and bushes. The inscriptions were copied by Mr. Henry C. Lynd, a grandson of William Magner.
