On northeast quarter section 28, township 49, range 6 west. Once known as Cerey Sabin farm.Copied Aug 4, 1978 by Mr and Mrs. S.A. Oliver Jr., Mr. Vernon Powell, Mr. and Mrs. Orin McCracken, and Mrs. Frederick Bohl Sr. Vernon Powell said Beverly Bishop was using a long fence rail to pole-vault, when it somehow slipped and punctured his abdomon, his death resulting within a few days. Note: 3 Nov 1997, William F Bishop - In 1983/84 David Bishop had the foursided gravestone moved to the nearby Bethel Methodist Church Cemetery. The gravestone was being destroyed by cows in the pasture/lot where the stone was located on the old Bishop farm (off Route B). So the bodies are still buried at the farm but the stone is at the edge of the Cemetery.
