"About 1871 what is known as Youst Cemetery was established on the homestead
of Samuel B. and Mary Elizabeth Hunt Youst. Youst, S.B. Chapman, and Richard M.
Hunt were the first settlers on Beaver Creek, arriving from Lucas County, Iowa
in 1870.
After the village of Hampton was established in 1880, approximately one mile to
the
north, many early residents were buried here. Civil War veterans buried in the
cemetery
are Samuel B. Youst, Lewis M. Hunt, Stanford May, G.W. Hiatt, Benjamin Conner,
Alva
Misner, and Fred Smith." ~ text of marker
