The McDonald Farm Cemetery has three grave markers. Only one, that of John Garn (1738-1808), has an inscription. It is believed that the two other markers were for Margaret, the wife of John Garn (1738-1808), and for their son John Garn (1778-1833), the subject of this memorial.

This cemetery does not have a grave marker for John's wife Susan (Cable) Garn because Susan went to Ohio with family members after John's death.

Books on the Garn family by Philip Graham Garn (1985) report that John was clearing slate rock on his property one day when he pulled back a piece of slate that had a rattlesnake under it. The snake bit him and John died from the effects of the venom.
