South-southwest of outlet-dam of Sportsman's League's artificial lake,and in a small woods 

on south terrace of MINNOW CREEK, nearly a quarter of a mile west of Kelley's Ditch

(tributary to Minnow Creek), and immediately east of the hollow (or ravine-valley) of a 

smaller (and seemingly nameless) run (likewise tributary to Minnow Creek). Between Minnow 

Creek and a winding road which runs in an easterly direction through the northeastern 

quarter of said section 4.  About 200 feet west of the boundary-line between the N.E. 1/4 

of Section 4 and the N.W. 1/4 of Section 3, on which boundary-line a lane --- leading to 

the east-end-of-the-lake -- goes north, and the previously mentioned winding road itself 
abruptly turns south, and soon crosses the Pennsylvania Railroad track (which said winding 

road had been virtually parallelling) this long-abandoned and now almost entirely 

forgotten little pioneer family burial-ground is about 3/4 of a mile northwest of the 

overhead viaduct which carries a road across the the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at ANOKA

JUNCTION.  Cemetery is less than one mile and a quarter west of the Washington-Tipton 

township-line, and is practically due south of (and immediately across Minnow Creek from) 

the extreme southwest corner of the LANGLOIS (INDIAN TREATY) RESERVE which is on the south 

side of Wabash River and contains what is today known as DYKEMAN SPRINGS PARK.  The exact 

size of this little cemetery is not now determinable; but the couple of little marble 

slabs (and several graves) are said to have been in the shade cast by two nut-bearing 

trees (a fair-sized walnut and a smaller HICKORY), which are some what conspicuous in this 

little open wooded or woodland pasture.  These trees are a hundred feet or more NORTH of 

the wagon-road, and 150 feet or more south of the dam.  Almost due south of the cemetery, 

and on the north side of the wagon-road, is an oddly forking sycamore tree, the two trunks 

of which form a rather conspicuous letter y (or, perhaps, V; for they separate only a few 

feet above the ground).  About 3/10ths of a mile west, and likewise on the north side of 

the wagon-road, is a one-story brick house owned by Margaret and Jud Mathews or Matthews, 

and tenanted (October 16, 1940 ) by George Sholty.  A shorter distance east but across 

the line and in section 3, is a farm-house on the Tousley farm, now tenanted by George's 

brother Jas. Sholty.

On visiting this long-abandoned little cemetery, the present writer finds only the 

substantial base of one missing slab, and a few very small broken fragments of what may 

have been tombstones.  But in the museum of the local historical society was found a 1907 

record by the late historian Dr. J. Z. Powell, a record which reports his having then, 

nearly a third of a century ago, found (sunken?) graves for several members of the family 

of JOSIAH BUTLER, and two fallen slabs giving the following information:
