| History: John E. Logan was the earliest permanent
settler in Morgan Township in 1844. He gave the land for the Logan
Cemetery and also built a Methodist Church northwest of the cemetery
called Logan Chapel. Several early obituaries refer to this cemetery as
Logan Chapel Cemetery. (The church is still standing [2002], but in poor
condition.) The first burial was in 1851, the 3 year-old daughter of J.E. & E. Logan. The stones need a lot of repair work. |
