Carmel Cemetery History
In conversing with our long time
friend Jas. Kidd, across the creek
from Unionville, we learn that so
far AS he is able to learn. the first
marked grave in the Carmel ceme-
terry reads: 'Infant son of Will
liam and Louisa Filkill, 1881
With the aid Of Jim and you who
know the history of this cemetery
we will attempt to gather the web
and pencil 1t into a story for the
readers of the Democrat. in the
months We will get names
and dates off the monuments. and
with the aid Of our frierd While
he knows much of the history, we
will thank any of you for help. Our
good Mother Amanda Spencer"
will take notice that she is to have
an important part in this work. If
you know of any interested who
do not get the Democrat. tell them
to get on the subscription list.
We have always been glad when
we could be of some help to neigh
bors and friends-always glad to
hear compliments. Don't worry
when some folks misread our writ
ing. as we never write anything to
hurt anyone.
