This cemetery, also known as Dunkard , is located just west of the Franklin Church of the Brethren. There were burials made in the cemetery before the church was organized in 1856 and the church building built in 1874. An interesting tombstone was found covering the cornerstone of the Garden Grove Methodist Church when it was torn down in 1976. It was identical to the stone in Row 1 Stone 9 except for the spelling of the first name Reubin instead of Reuben . It is surmised the stone was rejected because of the misspelling, left at Garden Grove and a second sent to replace it.
