Intro

Please respect all headstones. A lot of work has gone into making sure they remain for generations to discover.

I'm attempting to place caches in as many of Decatur County cemeteries as I can. Take your time and enjoy yourself. You don't have to stop at every headstone, but, please, slow down and look around you. Grave markers can tell a story, or at the very least make you wonder what the story really is. I'd prefer my cemetery caches not be park and grabs.

History

All that I have been able to discover is that there was a Memorial Presbyterian Church here at some point.

Headstones to Look For

  • Pvt. Benjamin Franklin Lee: Died from tuberculosis at home on 12/7/1864 - Company F, 18th IND
  • William J. Pfue (62) and Mrs. Thomas Larrison (27): "The double funeral for William J. Pfue, 62, and daughter, Mrs. Thomas Larrison, 27, who died here Thursday night was held in the Clarksburg Christian at 1:30 p.m. today. The burial was at the Memorial cemetery." GDN 1/12/1929
