BOOKWALTER CEMETERY

About 1 1/4 mile west of N.W. corner of  BARRON RESERVE & on the OLD HENRY SEYBOLD FARM in the S.W. corner of the S.E. 1/4 of S.E. 1/4 of  section 19, T.27N., R.I.E., 2nd IN P.M., in the S.W. part of  NOBLES TOWNSHIP in western CASS COUNTY in north-central INDIANA.

Cemetery is about 1/2 mile west of BURLEY HOLLOW [formed by the 1st large creek west of Cottonwood Creek, a northern tributary of the Wabash River], and is on high ground [the north terrace-rim of the Wabash River] & N. of the Rosetta Seybold HEDDE farm home, commonly known as the Old Henry Seybold farm which lies north of U.S. Highway 24 [Logansport- to-Monticello] & sits back from the road.

The fieldwork was done 18-Nov-1941 by the Honorable A.D. Brandt , a member of the L’Anguille Valley Memorial Association & well-known Noble Township Historian of Royal Center, IN & the report prepared by Robert B. Whitsett Jr. (secretary) of the L’A.V.M.A.

This land was originally set aside by the late Jacob Bookwalter in 1848, not only as a burial-ground but also for the proposed building of a Methodist Meeting House which never came to pass with several others flourishing in the area. In 1881 the land was retro-deeded back to Jacob Bookwalter who than deeded it in 1889 to the Trustees of the proposed United Brethren Church which likewise never became a reality.

The last burial here was in the 1870’s. Notes are included from the late local historian, Dr.  J.Z.Powel.

Robert & Ann George “ Our Dear Father and Mother.”
