Humiston Cemetery
Humiston Cemetery is located in Cedar Township in Section 17. Before you visit this cemetery, I would recommend getting permission from Mr. Josephson who owns the land where the cemetery is located. If you are going north on Route 41 (past Abingdon), turn left on 1000N. It is a dirt road that shouldn't be traveled on if it has been raining. Go a short distance until you see the road sign 150E. Turn left on this road which is only a grassy lane. Go to the very end and park your car. Walk past the gate and you will see the cemetery on your left in the middle of a cultivated field.
Many thanks to the caretaker of this cemetery!

I was unable to decipher. If you
have any additional information on people who are buried here, but are not listed on this
