I could find only a brief history of the Shiloh Park Cemetery
online. It is transcribed from a document called Manual of the
Shiloh Springs Christian Church, prepared in 1923 by Deacon D.W.
Klepinger, Church Clerk. It goes like this, "Shiloh Springs
Christian Church was organized in April, 1853 by Rev. Alexander
McClain. Peter and Nancy Kaufman and Jacob and Mary Heikes were the
original members. The building, a one-story brick, was erected in
the summer of 1853, paid for at once and dedicated Christmas Day by
Rev. N. Summerville. One acre of ground was deeded for the church
and graveyard by Peter Kaufman. The graveyard is beautifully
located and well studded with evergreens. The first interment in it
was the young child of Jacob Heikes in January of 1854."
