Parsley Cemetery
(Sidney Township)

         

Parsley cemetery, is located in the area once known as Camp Creek and Walnut Grove settlement. Cherry Grove was another name for this area, and in 1879 the town of Anderson was established here.

The cemetery was named for Alexander Parsley (1820-1874). It has also been known as the Anderson Cemetery. The cemetery property was sold, by James and Laura Parsley, for $25 to the trustees of Sidney Township, in 1884. It was to be used for the sole purpose of burial ground, and nothing else.
