Gravestone Photographs


This one-half acre cemetery about a quarter mile south of the Union County line is a tiny remnant of the one vast tall grass prairie known as the Darby Plains. Many speies of native prairie plants have survived here from presettlement time because of its scientific and historical significance. The cemetery was dedicated as a state nature preserve by the Pike Township Trustees in September 1978 and is now being managed to aid and perpetuate these prairie species. The native prairie plants are burned off each fall and replanted each spring to aid in the maintenance of the cemetery.
