ASH CREEK CEMETERY
Catalogued May 24, 1975 by the Ash Greek 4-H Club under the direction
of Mrs. Robert Sigrist. Located in section 3, Town of Orion north
of Orion Town Hall and Elm Grove School or 0.6mile north of Junction
County Trunks 0 and 00 South. This is a churchyard cemetery, where with
the early church, had it's beginning in the 1850's. The first
settlers held to their German Evangelical influence dating back to
their homeland nearly two centuries before. From the Evangelical United
Brethren of America it finally became integrated with the original M.
E. (Methodist Episcopal) now the United Methodist Church. The cemetery
is well kept, mainly because of being closely associated with church
membership and their personal interest and pride in the grounds and
nearby church. To drive past the site is to quickly enjoy and
appreciate the care and planning involved. The first known burial was
in 1860.
