[QUOTE="rod, post: 1637094, member: 5382"] The oldest marked grave is a gentleman who died in 1858. The story is he died in the late fall when the ground was froze so his brother wrapped him I a blanket and stored him in the barn until spring. He then buried him out in a corner of his pasture which later became our townships cemetery. There is on whole area that has no headstones where according to county records drifters, bums and those who had no relatives to pay for a burial were laid to rest. We call it pauper corner. No one knows who or how many are buried there. There are also a couple of the real old Civil War Veterans headstones. G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) headstones. [/QUOTE]
