| 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. |

We have a letter from Mrs. George WILKINS, former resident of Armenia now of Sullivan Township, referring to the origin of the name, "Old Possessions". She writes that Elliot ROSE and Darwin MILLER came from New England and settled on Armenia. The land was so poor and it was so hard to get to a mill that they left their first location and settled near what is now the State Road Baptist Church. With others, they founded the church. They called their former farms, "The Old Possessions" and thence the name...
