James and Christina Crum, husband and wife, deeded land for this burial ground on Nov. 8, 1862. The deed is found recorded in Deed Record Book TT "to be forever held and used as a Public Burial place for the use of the Inhabitants in the Neighborhood of the Said premises and for no other use whatever." The fenced cemetery is adjacent to and east of a north-south road, a few yards south of an east-west road that straddles the Cass County and Morgan County line. Union Church was formerly located on the Cass County (north) side of the road, very near the cemetery. The legal description of the cemetery includes an area encompassing 18 rods by 10 rods square, situated in the northeast quarter of Section 1 in Township 16 N Range 11 W of the Third Principal Meridian and is about three miles northwest of the tiny village of Arcadia. The cemetery was subjected to vandalism in 1979. In addition to tombstone readings made by Mrs. Sanford (Florence) Hutchison and Robert W. Dalton the following burials are gleaned from several sources and the burials are not always marked
