"Lobaugh
or Wattsbaugh Private Cemetery is situated on a sandy knoll, covered with oak
bushes, one-half mile S.E. of the N.W. corner of Jefferson Township in the N.W.
1/4 sec. 6, now the property of John Gougle. In this elevated yet lonely place
Mrs. Lobaugh was laid to rest in 1839. She was the mother of John A Fuller's
first wife. A number of unmarked graves are here located and the following
inscriptions are taken from marble slabs lying under the trees and covered with
leaves: Andrew Cast, son of W. and S. Cast, died 1852; Henry Cast, son of W. and
S. Cast, died 1854; Alvin, son of S. and L. Swartzell, died 1853; Martha,
daughter of J.C. and S. Wattsbaugh, died 1854.
This
burial ground was started by Lobaugh and Wattsbaughm who owned the adjoining
farm, but no deeds or reservations were ever made."
