This cemetery is one of the lists of the Warren L. Van Dine project of collecting names of the dead buried in our county.  August 20, 1975
     This cemetery, like much else of the Southwest Warsaw area corner of Hancock County, belongs to the early pioneer era.  History has stood still in this place since Mormon days.
     If these dead could come back to the world of the living long enough for us to ask them a few questions about a world that is almost as far back of us of the nuclear age of our second to half of the 20th century as the time of Jesus of 2000 years ago; interesting it would be to hear them talk.
But from the scanty description of this burial ground available, it would seem they might "Tell us off" for neglecting their resting place.
