The original plat contained sixty-four lots. This was laid August 12, 1878. Then on the 18th of October, 1907, with Marvin Schrock, as engineer, an addition was laid out, con- taining 128 lots, making in all 192 lots in this cemetery, which lies on an elevated tract of land, a very desirable location for a cemetery, with a good gravel road on the east side make it accessible to the whole neighborhood. The people in and around the Town of Hamlet buy lots here and many of their friends are buried in this cemetery. There being no cemetery at Hamlet is perhaps why they choose to bury their friends at this place.
