Across the road from New Mt Tabor Cemetery Location- Across a field on Piqua Road, SW of Rivarre (Bobo) about one mile. "It is said all those people died at one time of cholera. There was an epidemic of cholera in Willshire, Ohio and the surrounding territory in 1848 and another in 1854. Only 7 survived the 1854 period." Recorded in the Decatur Democrat-in an article by Richard Marland- This cemetery is in very bad condition.

A note I added to my copy
11-21-94
I could not find much.
Many stones are broken & many pieces on the ground.
It is too heavy to turn over stones and I am too cold to look.
Note: This copy was given to me by Frances Newby, my cousin in 1994. The copy that I have is in a very small font. I have enlarged the type for better use by genealogists and others interested in Adams Co, IN history
