MOUNT HOREB CEMETERY From the records of the Lost River DAR Transcribed by Tom Agan Orleans Township Section 22, T3N R1W 1 Used. Mt. Horeb Missionary Baptist Church, 2 miles west of Orleans, was organized in 1839. Near the church is a well kept community cemetery, in which the oldest marked stone is that of the wife of Nathaniel Sanders, who died in 1864. The site of the first church house is west of the present one, about 1 mile. It was used for about 13 years and a cluster of trees on a hill marks the site of old Mt. Horeb cemetery where it is known that members of the Burton and Sanders families were buried but no markers were found. Allegro, Cyrus F.
