Although a usually very careful and dependable local historian stated that this cemetery was in the N.E. corner of the S.W. ¼ of Sec. 19 of Bethlehem township, we entirely fail to find any confirmation of that statement, and do not believe that it is true. Testimony of the "oldest of the old-timers" of this locality and township seems agreed that the cemetery was, and that what remains of it still is, in the NORTHEAST CORNER of the NORTHEAST QUARTER of the SOUTHEAST QUARTER of SECTION 19, of T. 28 N., R. 2 E., of Second Indiana P.M., and in western BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIP of northern CASS COUNTY (in northcentral Indiana ). This is east of the location given by the historian. Unlike spot mentioned by historian, cemetery is on land entered and patented by Gavin Black. The historian says cemetery is in an orchard, which we find to be true, and on what long was known as the Bassler Farm. But all this agrees with OUR location and seemingly not at all with the historian's legal description which we therefore assume is simply the result of a much repeated typographical error.
