Long Description:
The Miami Monthly Meeting established this burying ground for
its members in 1804. It served both the Orthodox Friends, and later
also the Hicksite Friends. Friends (also called Quakers) believed
in simplicity in life, and also in death. They often had only small
grave markers, or sometimes none at all. When I visited the site I
found only a few stones in place, and some lined up at the edge of
the ground.
An excellent Web site has been created for this cemetery, a link
to which is given below. This site gives information about the
cemetery, and links to more information, including transcriptions
of burials. The exact number of burials is not known, but well over
50 stones can be seen, and records of many more burials exist
(follow the links on the site below).
