Parker Cemetery
T22, R12, S3
Route PP318 to 317, left to end of road

This cemetery is located on the Dale and Violet  Morrison  farm.  It  is
fenced, but several  stones  are  overturned.  The  graves  marked  with
fieldstones are in disarray, and there  are  also  unmarked  graves.  No
correct count can be made. No organized care has been  taken  for  fifty
years or longer.

The cemetery received its name from the Parker family, early  owners  of
the land in the early 1800's. Parkers sold to  Patillos,  and  Morrisons
got the land in 1919. In graves marked by fieldstones are  two  children
of Martha Smith, one child of Ernest Tilman, and one  child  of  Gaither
Runyon.

   One stone contains the following eight inscriptions:
