"The first grave-yard laid out in the Scotch settlement occupied a lot, which was partly on Alex. McIntosh's place and partly on Andrew McPherson's. When the township line was run between Yellow Creek and Madison, it passed through the centre of te grave-yard, which may still be seen upon the farm of Mr. Alex. M. Bane, in Yellow Creek township, on section 6. In 1804 only two graves were there, - those of Mrs. Forsyth and a child of Alex. McIntosh,the first persons buried there.
