Worrell Cemetery 
Also Known as Irwin Cemetery

From the Cemetery Records compiled by the Lost River Chapter DAR


Orleans Township. Section 10, T2N R1E. Abandoned.

This pioneer graveyard is covered with small trees, vines and shrubs, so that it is very difficult to find the stones, of which there are 29. Beside the 23 with inscriptions there are 4 with markers of field stone and 2 with initials R. M. and H. M. The earliest marked stones are those of Robert and Elizabeth Pickens Worrell, early settlers from Kentucky. Robert Worrell was a soldier of the War of 1812 and was a cripple from injuries suffered at the Battle of the River Raisin.

The following is a transcript of data recorded by the Lost River Chapter of the DAR in the 1940's and remains their property.  This page may be freely copied for your personal use but may not be reproduced in any public media without permission
