FARSON CEMETERY

On September 26, 1879, Rebecca Spencer deeded land in Section 2 of Ohio township to the trustees.¹ 
  
The cemetery is considered "abandoned" since no new burials are planned. There are four gravestones and at least one known unmarked grave but with these early burial sites, there could be several more unmarked burials.  Three of the gravestones are members of the Farson family, the oldest burial date being 1854.  The last known burial took place in 1892.²
