Old Shepler Church Cemetery
Below is a transcription of stones and photos I gathered while visiting the
Shepler cemetery in the summer of 2002. Many stones were too worn to be
read very easily. I checked my list with the list in the Stark Co.
Cemeteries book and came up with the following names in the book that I
could not identify stones for. Possibly some of the stones marked ??
are some of these.
Francis A. BEAZEL
Margaret C. BEAZELL
Barbara A. BRADLEY
William BROWN
Bessie CUSTER
Cordelia E. DOBBIN
Cary Beel, Charles, John, Louisa J. & Wm. Almonzo ERWIN
H. I. EVERSOLE
Geo. FISHER
Charity HOLDEMAN
Elizabeth SPONHAUR
Elisabeth, Infant, Matthias, & Sarah Jane SHEPLER
Cinthia YOUNKMAN
** Note: There was another Elisabeth Shepler listed in the book with
a death date of Apr 6, 1830, aged 31y 8m 15d. There was a new stone for
an Elizabeth "Bechtel" Shepler July 23, 1798 to Apr 6, 1838. I don't know
if this is the same Elizabeth or not.
