Pitchin Methodist Cemetery

This cemetery is located in the village of Pitchin behind the Pitchin United 
Methodist Church, on the northeast side of Selma Pike .2 mile Southeast of 
South Pitchin Road.

The church, established in September 1833, still holds services at 11:00 a.m. 
every Sunday. Rev. Paul D. Price is the current pastor.

The cemetery is no longer in use.  The stones for the children are in a 
straight line directly behind the church.  These four stones are still 
readable and in fair condition.  The footstones are being used to prop up the 
headstones.  I verified the recorded information on the stone.

The stones for the two Hess women are leaning against a tree some distances 
to the left of the children's stones.  The stones are almost totally 
unreadable and appear to have been dug out of the ground recently and leaned 
against the large tree. There are several indentations in the ground near by 
that look as the stones were lying flat in them.  There are five stones 
against the tree.  Two large stones, one in three pieces.  Two smaller 
stones, probably foot stones, and a third head stone that is unreadable.  
This would indicate that there is another person buried here that was not 
recorded.

The original recording of this cemetery was by George Robinson.  No date 
given.  The listing is from a book of Clark County Cemeteries maintained by 
the Clark County Genealogical Society at the Warder Public Library in 
Springfield.

The information given in parentheses is from other sources also found in the 
library.
