A Standard History of Starke County, Indiana
McCormick, Joseph N. - 1915

     [186]

                             GROVERTOWN CEMETERY
                             -------------------

           The Grovertown Cemetery was laid out on November 1, 1889, by
        Andrew J. Uncapher, who owned the land, and is located in the
        northeast corner of the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter
        of section 22 in township 34 north, range 1 west (Oregon Township).
        This cemetery was surveyed by Joseph N. McCormick, engineer, and
        contains 270 lots. Being about one-fourth mile north of Grovertown,
        and a good gravel road on the east line of it and near the Grover-
        town United Brethren Church makes the distance very short in going
        from the church to the cemetery.
           Mr. Uncapher has taken much pride in keeping this cemetery in a
        neat manner, which shows that there are those who obey the living
        and respect the dead. Many dear friends have been laid to rest in
        this cemetery, with tombstones and monuments placed at the head of
        the graves there to remind their friends of this world that they
        are sleeping beneath the sod, that they have gone on before, gone
        to that sleep from which there is no return.
