In section 10, there is a small cemetery. It is sometimes called
the Oxley Cemetery, the Berea Cemetery, or the Ross
Township Cemetery.
Practically everyone in it is related to William and Rosannah
Lasswell Oxley. The Berea country church is less

than a mile from it.

 

In 1969 I talked to Nina Stone who remembered some
tombstones against the fence in section 5. She thought
they were children of Joshua Ferrell's and perhaps a
Ross child. From the death records, Samuel Applegate was
also possibly buried there.
