LEE GROVE CEMETERY, a.k.a. Parker Cemetery, Harlan Twp.

Chapter 23.

This cemetery was probably started as a family cemetery and
then the community cemetery.  The land was deeded to the trustees 
of Harlan Township and the deeds were recorded January 09, 1897.  

On August 21, 1896, Rebecca Parker, widow of Franklin Parker deeded 
land to be used as a cemetery.  This probably is why some people refer 
to the cemetery as the "Parker Cemetery"

In November 1896, Mrs. Catharine Elizabeth Pike and her husband
S. D. Pike deeded land to the trustees of Harlan Township to
be used for a cemetery.  

It is located on 5 acres of land, in NE 1/4, NW 1/4, NE 1/4, SW 1/4
of Section 10 of Harlan Township.  East of the old town "Page Center"
2 1/2 miles, then North on dirt road 1/2 mile after crossing the old
C.B. & Q. railroad tracks, located on the left. Was on E.F. BELL's farm 
in 1966. and on D. M. Dufrey's farm in 1985.
