Large stone marker at the entrance to Summerset Cemetery.

The name may be easier to read in this picture.

In 1890, the Spring River branch of The Church of the Brethren purchased the Summerset schoolhouse and remodeled it for their church.

It was located toward the southeast corner of Christian H. Holdeman's farm, and was adjoined by the cemetery for which he donated the ground.

The Spring River organization was discontinued in 1918. Papers and effects belonging to the church were turned over to the Carthage church. The Church building was torn down and removed. The cemetery which had been donated for public use was left intact under the name Summerset Cemetery.
