Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries. If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M.

Barb was instrumental in many Children’s Bible Camps both teaching and as a counselor, reaching others to saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ because of God’s grace. As the years on Don and Barb, through their own personal experiences and God, saw the needs for a family owned and operated adult care facility for the elderly they created this by the Grace of God. They believed that by raising their own livestock and perishable vegetables, combined with their country farm atmosphere the elderly would feel more at home and enjoy longer and healthier lives.
