Inscription

This monument is in memory of those persons who were buried in the original lone tree cemetery that was located 1 1/2 miles NNE from this site. In the late 1950s, the gravestones were razed and the cemetery became farmland. In 1992, eight of the original grave markers were found and relocated to this cemetery. The following persons listed on both sides of this memorial were buried in the original site.
