Geocache Description:


Nearest town: Garden Grove 
Earliest tombstone burial: May 8, 1851 

History: In 1851 there were 5 families settled in the High Point community.  A school house was built on the southwest corner of the cemetery.  This building was also used for church services until a church was built in 1881.  Later, when the school was torn down, this section became the south part of the cemetery known as the “School House Addition”.  There were once several stores in High Point, but only a church and the name remain.  Mendenhall family history says that a Mendenhall, born 1776 and died 1853, was the first burial (unmarked).
