The first person buried at this place was Herbert,  the  infant  son  of
John Mathew Absher and Parsitty Green Absher. The infant died  in  1895,
and his grave has a marker. A fieldstone marks the grave of  another  of
their children, John.

John Mathew Absher  (1867-1958)  and  Parsitty  Absher  (1870-1952)  are
buried at Thornfield. They homesteaded the Absher farm, which is  now  a
part of the Dan Donley farm, and Mr.  Donley  has  fenced  off  the  old
cemetery grounds.

There are eight graves  with  markers,  and  three  graves  marked  with
fieldstones. Here are the inscriptions:
