Grant County Indiana
KNOX CHAPEL CEMETERY
The United Brethren denomination organized a church group here in
1855 and named it for John Knox who was a prominent member of the
group. This is a small cemetery which lies to the east of the church
building which is not used at the present time. Few burials are made
in this part of the cemetery, nearly every one using the newer part
across the road. There is a stockholders association which is
responsible for the good care given these two plats. The earliest
date on a stone is March 19, 1859. These two cemeteries are noted
through the county for their beauty. The old plot lies in section #26
of Green Township and the new part is just across the road in Section
#35. The above was written by the DAR in the 1940's. I worked in
this cemetery in the summer of 1996. This is one of the nicer
cemeteries of the county. The easiest way to get to this cemetery is
to go south of Marion on State Road 37 to 1000 South and turn right or
west and proceed down 1000 S. past 700 West and within a half a mile
you will see this cemetery on both sides of the road. The old church
is now gone, torn down a couple of years ago. It hadn't been in use
for the last 40 years. Vandalism and time had taken it's toll and
with the fear of someone getting hurt in it, and a heavy heart, the
decision was made to tear it down. The corner post on both sides of
the walk and the walk are still there as quiet reminders of the common
country church, that could be found every few miles all over our
county. Now only a few remain. While working here I had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. Max Leisure, the man who served this cemetery for 41
years and is still helping out. He talked to me a little bit about
the changes that had occurred in his time. He told me that when the
new part of the cemetery was started it was originally called the "The
New Knox Chapel Cemetery", but the New in the name was soon lost and
now few people remember that it ever existed. Several years ago the
old Knox Cemetery, the part that is in section #26 was put up for
sale. He said he contacted a lawyer about the sale of a cemetery and
was told it was perfectly legal, as they held the deed to the piece of
land. They wanted $1500.00 for it, but the cemetery board couldn't
raise enough money to buy it. It appears the two cemeteries are still
really separate, but most people don't realize it now. He pointed
to a piece of ground where very few stones were standing and told me
that it really is full. During the depression, when they were using
that area, people didn't have any money for headstones for their
families. He told me about a man that was in World War I or II, by
the last name of Jacoby. This man was buried without a stone. He
said he tried to contact the daughter, to no avail. This is really a
shame as the government provides stones for all veterans, free of
charge. It was a pleasure to talk to Mr. Leisure. Following is
part of an article, taken from the Chronicle Tribune of Oct. 3, 1995.
Leisure family has deep roots
"Point Isabel - Max Leisure is following in his father's footsteps.
And his grandfather's. And two of his uncles'. And a cousin's. The
Leisure name and membership to the Knox Cemetery board go hand in
hand. Generation after generation has served on the board. But Max
Leisure's tie to the community does not end there. For more than 100
years, the Leisure family has helped the area grow. Max's grandfather
even had a town named after him. At 76, Max Leisure has served as the
secretary/treasurer for Knox Cemetery more than half of his life; 41
years. (Now semi-retired in 1996.) He's seen the cemetery, near
Point Isabel, double in size and has helped out in every way, from
digging graves to selling lots to mowing grass. The cemetery was
started in 1908. In 1916, Max Leisure's grandfather, Nathan J.
Leisure, became president of the cemetery board. Then Max's father,
Orange Leisure, became general superintendent. Later, Orange's
brother, Bert, served as president. And his brother, Oscar, was a
board member. Oscar's son, Joseph, was on the board in the 1930's.
After the Civil War, Nathan Leisure moved to a town that was then
called Harmony, south of Point Isabel, and became an active citizen in
the tiny community......" (This town is in Madison County, Indiana,
just across the Grant and Madison county line. The town was later
named Leisure in honor of Nathan Leisure, Max's grandfather.)
