About the Cemetery:
County research indicates this cemetery to be the second oldest in Johnson 
County. It was established as a Pioneer and Indian cemetery and went by several 
family names throughout time. Just up the stone stepson the west end is the only 
stone, erected in 1940. The stone lists the two Campbells, and contains the 
following inscription: ?Alexander and Nancy Gee Pioneers and early day settlers 
Merriam and Shawnee KS Parents D G Campbell founder of Campbelltown now 
Merriam.? To the west of this stone is the border surrounding this burial.
