Soldiers of 1812 Cemetery

Just north of the Mississinewa on state road 1, where Dinner Creek crosses the road, is the site of the graves of three soldiers of 1812, Jesse Benton, Thompson Carnahan, and Salem Peyatt.  A memorial is being built there at the present time.  Alwyn Carder’s family, for three generations, has kept the site marked and his working with a Preservation Society to get this memorial set, and to erect information signs.
