History: The land to the Dale Cemetery was donated by James Martin Dale. The oldest marked grave in the cemetery is dated March 10, 1856 and belongs to Barbra Dale, the second wife of James Martin Dale. She was aged 29y. 8m. and she died just three weeks after they arrived in Decatur County to settle inSection 11 from Hamilton County, Indiana. Barbra died just 5 days after her son, James Henry Dale was born. The stones appear to be running crooked because the road is not straight north and south.
