It is rather remarkable that in a cemetery so old and so celebrated as Prospect, no more monuments of elderly persons are found.
Whether it is because few are buried there, or because the placing of memorial stones has been neglected, we cannot tell.
An old cemetery; many graves; few tombstones; many old settlers doubtless lie sleeping beneath the grassy sod, but no human eye can designate the spots where they respectively wait the last great day.
Located at the intersection of County Road 100 West and State Road 28, on the south side of the Mississinewa River.
This cemetery was started by 1830, and has had several additions to the west side as well as a newer part on the east side of the road.
