Cemetery History

 The cemetery is now a part of a cow pasture owned by Vester Powell.  Jim Hodgen owned the farm in the 1950's.  Ron Ruppert bought the Hodgen Farm.  The original farm containing the cemetery was split at some point.  Vester Powell owns the cemetery and Ron Ruppert owns another part of the farm.
