Though now known as the church cemetery it was originally a family graveyard. Even now the large percentage of persons buried are descendants of William Marsdon Benton and his wife Prudence E Cox who gave the property for the cemetery and church building. The oldest stone dates from 1885 though there are many unmarked grave that are probably older. Family tradition says that his parents, Arthur Benton and Rebecca Sellers are buried here. press control F to search Adams, Marcus(s/o M C & Frances M Adams) 28 Sep 1880 - 16 Sep 1885 Anderson, Marion Dewey(adopted s/o WM & Prudence Benton) 21 May 1898 -
