      By
      Harold Gentz
      About a mile west of Beckemeyer on Route 50 is the Beckemeyer Cemetery. Almost due north, about 300 yards, in the edge of the timber lie three forgotten and neglected graves. Local tradition says that it is a husband and wife and one childy all died about the same time of diptheria and were buried on their farm land. The stones are broken and some pieces could not be found when a young Central High School freshman boy, Mike Kruse, of Beckemeyer took the inventory. The pieces were scattered and some were missing. Perhaps with a little probing in the ground missing pieces can be located and the stones repaired. There was no excavation down [sic] when Mike took the inventory on October 18, 1980. This is what could be found:
