Jackson Twp., Cass Co., IN
On June 3, 1857, George Sprinkle deeded to John Kemp and James Atwood, trustees of the Methodist Episcopal church, one acre of ground in the N. W. corner of the S. W. 1/4 Sec. 20, Jackson township, for church and burial purposes. Again on January 16, 1874, William Faris, of Hamilton county, Indiana, conveyed to the Cass county commissioners a strip of land 3X13 rods on the east of the above tract, and on April 4, 1859 George Sprinkle deeded to the trustees, Nearcy Jump, Samuel B. Sprinkle, Andrew Wiseman, Joseph M. Weaver and George Sprinkle one acre adjoining the above mentioned tract for the use of the Sprinkle graveyard and the Methodist Episcopal church. A church was erected here but it was abandoned and torn down when the Lincoln church was built. This is a large cemetery, well located on the bluff, on the west bank of the south fork of Deer creek, near where the old Sprinkle sawmill stood in early days. The ground are interspersed with evergreen trees and has some fine monuments
