There may be found (if one searches long and carefully but not otherwise) some miles west of Laketon, in Section 4, Township 29, Range 6, northeast of Center School house, upon lands once owned by William Nabors, away from any highway, and all grown up with shrubs and briers, and hidden by the surrounding woods, a cemetery. The following description (in substance) is given in the County Atlas: "The oldest buring ground in Pleasant township is at the south side of William Nabor's farm in Section 4, Township 29, Range 6. It was part of a clearing made by a man named Simonton, who had come from the southern part of the State in 1837 or 1838. He cleared off a few acres there, sowed it in wheat and commenced putting up a small cabin, intending to move his family to it as soon as it was completed. Death changed his plans, and his clearing was made the place of his interment. The spot became afterward a general burying place for many years."
Among the other families, the Musselmans, The Thurstons, the Teals, the Krofts, the Renszs (and others still) have deposited some of their loved ones in this consecrated ground. It is away from any public highway and difficult of access, and is now but little (if at all) used. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Thurston, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis B. Musselman, nathan Herindean's wife, Jacob Rensz's wife and children (but not himself), were buried there. Jacob Rensz was a brother of Mrs. Robert Shuler, and he lies buried at Shiloh CemeterY. Some have been removed from Nabor's Burying Ground to Pleasant Cemetery, and some to Shiloh. --SixDogTeam
Indiana Cemetery Locations, Volume 2, published by the Indiana Genealogical Society (01 April 2006), gives the primary cemetery name as McClure Cemetery.
The cemetery is listed in the Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and in the State Historical Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) with Cemetery Record Number CR-85-70 (Nabor).
