"Died, at his residence in Barhtolomew County, Indiana, on the 10th of fifth month, 1839 , James Parisho, supposed to be from his own recollection (as there is no record of his age to be found,) about one hundred and ten years of age. He lived a single life till about the sixty-third year of his age, then married and lived to see some of his grandchildren arrive to mature age. He was born in North Carolina, emigrated from there to Virginia, where he married, from thence to Ohio, and about the year 1817 moved and settled in the state of Indiana. He had a birthright in the Society of Friends, and for any thing that is known to the contrary, lived a consistent member thereof. Although his mental faculties had much failed, he expressed a few days before his death to some friends that called to see him (in substance) that he thought the time of his departure was near at hand, and he had a hope of admittance into everlasting rest. It is not know that he ever experienced any serious affliction during his long life, and at last weakened away and died without much sickness and pain."

Inscription

There was a period when markers were deliberately shunned by the Friends movement, so there are not many markers in the cemetery during this time period.
