This story was told to me by the gentleman, whom the cemetery is on his property, as told to him by a Close family member.
These 5 stones represent a family of five whom were traveling thru the area by wagon train. All five family members died of the disease that had stricken a lot of families at the time.
The Close family was asked if they could bury this family in the cemetery and all that was given them were these five stones as headstones. There is two big stones, assuming they are the parents, and there is three smaller stones representing the children.
No one knows their names, where they came from or when they exactly died, but they were put to rest here in Sullivan, Ohio.
