Kunkel Family Cemetery Plot
This family burial plot is located about 1 mile north of Decatur, Adams Co., Indiana on U.S. Highway 27. The cemetery is about an eighth of a mile off the highway in a pasture field. There only four stones in the burial plot, which at one time was fenced. The plot is accessible only by permission from the Kunkel family.
These stones were copied in 1996 by Nola C. (Schieferstein) Rains.

and Elizabeth (Dorwin) Nave were brother & sisters, being children of Calvin
Trenton Dorwin & Frances Belle Dickerson. After the death of her husband,
Elizabeth Dorwin Nave later married John Pomeroy Porter, and became the mother
of three children. One of her sons, Charles Dorwin Porter, married Geneva Grace
Stratton. Geneva Grace Stratton Porter is better known as Gene Stratton-Porter,
the well-know author of such famous books as "Freckles", "Girl of the Limberlost",
"Song of the Cardinal", "Laddie", and "The Harvester", to mention
just a few.
