The original 1942 reading of Mrs. H. T. Jeffery had these notes: "Located in the south west corner of Galen Township. Years ago there was a Lutheran Church where the school stands (in 1942). There are several stones piled in the back corner of the grounds but their weight and snakes make copying difficult. " People buried here: BARRICK, David, d. June 28, 1835, 58yrs |
