"OLD I.O.O.F. CEMETERY. Now a part of Lakewood Memorial Gardens, a cemetery which has received very little patronage, is located west of Home of Peace and north of Hillhaven Convalescent Home. Although many burials were made there in early days, the only visible indication now is a monument base 12 inches high by 16 inches square beside which, lying on the ground, is the monument itself about 12 or 14 inches square and 4 or 5 feet high with a nob at the top and bearing the following inscription:
'Mary S., wife of John Cowger, died June 26, 1894, aged 70 years.'"
