Go West out of Stamford for about 10 miles, turn South on CR 478 for 5.6 miles. The cemetery is located beside the road on the West side with the front entry way being on the East. The land was donated by Mr. Ferdinand Teichelman who purchased a section of land here in the early 1900's. The original ledger of the cemetery is dated 1911. It was noted that in 1924 a box supper was held to raise funds to build a fence around the cemetery. Quote: "In 1934 money was donated to the cemetery fund from the sale of the Union Church of Bunker Hill."At this time records were being kept by Alfred Rinn. In March of 1962 the records were transferred to Clarence Teichelman as agreed by all present at a cemetery cleaning day. Donations were received and a new metal gate and sign were added. It was agreed by all present to reduce the size of the cemetery from its 3 acres for easier maintenance. Clarence Teichelman was to move the fence, clean and farm the land west of the cemetery. At the present time it is maintained by families of those resting here. There are numerous unmarked gravesites and we are unable to verify who might be buried at most of the markings. Names that are on the ledger will be listed at the end of this document. Mr. Teichelman isn't sure if they are buried here, or if they only donated money for the maintenance. Other names will be listed in alphabetical order: LAST NAME FIRST NAME DOB DOD STONE INSCRIPTION Beene Albert Oct. 12, 1913 Dec.28,1939 Single How desolate our home bereft of thee son of W.M. & M.S.
