Argentine Township Cemetery

In 1838, Halsey Whitehead, a veteran of the War of 1812, buried his two-year-old daughter Rebecca here on land he settled in 1837. He offered burial plots for others until 1843, when he donated the land to Argentine Township. Graves located here include those of pioneer families, such as the Murrays, Lobdells, Sutherlands, Algers, Lahrings and McCaslins, as well as veterans of seven different wars.Same text.
