INDIANA
SPIRIT QUEST #309
APE
CACHE
Welcome to Millgrove Cemetery, Millgrove
Township, Steuben County, Indiana. Listen to what the mysterious
SHADOW has to say about this place:
Five or Six
veterans of the War of 1812 are buried in this cemetery, but I have
not located all of their graves.
This is a very old and inactive cemetery, in Orland, which was
the first settlement (1834) in the county (Vermont Settlement). The
entrance gate is beside the parking lot of American Legion Post
#423. There has been restoration work done here in the distant
past, but time has once again taken it's toll. Many stones have
broken, fallen, are tipping over and lots have been placed against
the trees and the fence.
There are no government style markers here, but several veteran's
flag holders can be seen. Some holders are beside markers, that the
dates indicate a possibility of them being veterans of the War of
1812. One marker does have an inscription to that
effect.
I was able to locate several pioneer settlers, who came and settled
here prior to 1840.
There's a veterans memorial garden in front of the Legion Post.
Be sure to pay a visit there. A helicopter and very nice memorial
markers are displayed. --THE
SHADOW
In the Spring of 1834, John STOCKER,
father of L.H. STOCKER, prospected to Orland, Indiana from Windham
Co. Vermont and chose Orland for the name of town by having first
postmaster, Colonel Alexander CHAPIN open a hymn book. The first
white child born was Sarah L. PIERCE daughter of Benjamin PIERCE b.
Nov. 10, 1834.
