When the town was first laid out, it was known as Melville. The name was later
changed to Qulin. Earliest land deeds are still under the name Melville. A
published history of Butler county states that when the original town was laid
out, the cemetery was right in the center. This old cemetery is no longer
found. Older residents have reported that the old cemetery was built over, and
that many of the stones were bulldozed or hauled away.
