A stroll through the town cemetery finds many
old grave
markers of Civil War soldiers and others honoring our beloved ancestors, relatives, pastors, and
friends. Burial dates start from
1811. The northwest corner of the
cemetery
is where the first town hall and “free”
house was built. It was here that town
and community meetings and church services were held.
The map
