(Excerpt from "The History of Mercer County" - 1882)
North Henderson Township
"The first death to occur in this township was a child of John Pollock, which was the second interment in the Mann cemetery, the wife of James Bridger having been the first, in 1836. Thither Mr. James Mann, who gave the site for this cemetery, soon followed, dying March 10, 1837, at the age of sixty-four. In 1840 scarlet fever broke out as an epidemic in this neighborhood and the mortality was very great for such a sparsely settled country, there having been ten interments in this cemetery in one month."
