456:- In section 36, northwest of 1400S and 400W fourth-fifths of a mile east of Cass County line and about one-fourth of a mile north of the Howard County line on a small knoll / hill, south side Deer Creek in the area of Lot 78, Deer Creek Estates; no surface monuments remain. Thomas Martindale received patent for the land where the cemetery was in 1848 - the burial ground appearing in the deed abstracts from 1853 through 1901. The first known burial was in 1846 of Anthony Rickard and the last known in 1860, Jacob Waisner. Martindale was squatting on the land as early as 1845 and sponsored gatherings of the "New-Light" Christian Church on his property during the duration of the burial ground's use. The congregation bought property and relocated to the nearby village of Cassville in 1860; their relocation seems to coincide with the abandonment of the burial ground as members were buried in the closer Cassville Cemetery immediately thereafter.
