ELROD FAMILY CEMETERY

Orleans Township Section 12, T2N R1E. Obliterated.

Located 3 miles south west of Orleans, in the north section of the old James Lindley farm. The land was entered by Roger McKnight on Jan. 17, 1815, and was later
acquired by Robert Elrod. The Elrod families came from North Carolina. There were 20 graves, only 3 or 4 of which had markers with inscriptions. Two of the graves were
covered with bricks, built up in box-fashion. On another part of this farm were 3 ancient graves, identity unknown, marked by field stones. They are also now obliterated. Two stones from the Elrod burying ground were found.
