Killed a Man to Start It
The North Grove cemetery two miles east of Hastings is
beautifully located upon a knoll overlooking Indian
creek's wooded valley. It is reasonably well verified
that the foot of the north slope upon which the cemetery
is located, was used as an Indian burial ground. That
part is now north of the road that runs east and west
past the cemetery.
It was not because of this historical association that
the North Grove cemetery was located where it is.
The first settlements made in that vicinity were in
1852. It was an extremely healthful community, evidently
for there was no need of a burial ground until the spring
of 1853.
The land for the cemetery is part of the Ross place as
a man by that name entered the land. The farm is now
occupied by George Bowen.
In the Spring of 1853, two men named Huntsman, an
uncle and nephew, were working in a field not many rods
from where the cemetery is located. They fell into a
dispute. One or both were using those heavy hoes made of
one piece of iron with an eyelet for the handle. The
result of the dispute was that the nephew struck his
uncle such a blow with the hoe that the uncle was killed.
The nephew disappeared and never has been heard of since.
The dead man had to be buried and it was decided the
knoll mentioned previously as the site of the cemetery be
selected as his burial place.
Thus was North Grove cemetery started. To start a
white man's grave yard a man was killed, and a murdered
man was its first occupant.
North Grove cemetery bears the distinction of
containing, probably, the costliest monument of Mills
county, that of Alex Bowen. A ladies cemetery association
has been in existence in that vicinity for years. A
fairly respectable sum of money has been set aside by now
occupants of the cemetery, to provide an income to care
for several graves of that cemetery.
