In this year the bodies of Dr. Dana, Mr. Caples, Sr., Louisa Howell, John Kelley, the, Hollopoters, Mrs. Braden and old man Jacobs were exhumed, and removed to the new cemetery. John Gorsuch, the donator, and the original owner of Risdon, shot himself three miles north of where Longley Station now is. His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Brock, of the Methodist Episcopal Church. who dwelt gently with the life of the suicide, and asked that the remains should lie in the cemetery that he donated. The late Morris P. Skinner held a quit-claim deed from the Gorsuch heirs for this property. He also purchased, in 1855, a strip two rods in width along the western side of the burying ground from old Thomas Kelley, in which his son John Kelley was interred, and there also a daughter of Jacob Milhime was buried in 1854. Skinner began taking sand from this property in 1855, the ends of the coffins were brought into view, and in that year the question of establishing a new cemetery was discussed.
