Beech Grove Cemetery - Green Township - Madison County, IN
http://www.cemeteries-madison-co-in.com/beech_grove.htm Fifty-five members of the German Baptist movement in 1871 are responsible for the Beech Grove Cemetery. They broke away from the Stony Creek Church, which they had attended, and purchased two acres from David Richards for their "Beech Grove Church" and accompanying burial ground. Originally from Frederick County, Maryland, the Green Township settlers who founded this church were also known as Dunkards, Dunkers, Tunkers, Brethren, or Old Order Brethren as well as German Baptists. David Richards and John Armstrong were deacons; John Kalor was elder; Enoch Frey, Carlos Savage, and Israel Huntsinger were assistant preachers. As of 1880, the congregation had grown to seventy-five members, and into the next century, the church continued to be a source of spiritual guidance for area residents. This cache is a DCON container. Out of respect for the fact that this is a cemetery, no graves will need to be disturbed in order to retrieve this cache. The cache itself contains a log, but is not big enough for a writing utensil so please bring your own to STL. Happy caching!
