In 1838, Halsey Whitehead, a veteran of the War of 1812, buried his two-year-old daughter Rebecca here on land he settled in 1837. He offered burial plots for others until 1843, when he donated land to Argentine Township. Graves located here include those of pioneer families, such as the Murrays, Lobdells, Sutherlands, Algers, Lahrings and McCaslins, as well as veterans of seven different wars.

NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
