History
7
James and Cathrine (Fulks) DeSellum settled on and expanded the original property of Baltus Fulks, one of the earliest settlers of Logtown. Their son and daughter, John T. and Sarah Ann DeSellum, remained on the land, instituting agricultural innovations and becoming philanthropic leaders in the community. James DeSellum was born June 14 1773 and died June 27 1847 at age 74; he was remembered as a useful citizen and sincere Christian. Cathrine DeSellum was born July 20 1770 and died June 20 1856 at age 88; her Christian virtues were shown in her daily example and deportment. Sarah Ann DeSellum was born Sep 26 1812 and died Sep 9 1885 at age 73; her devotion to her aged parents was a living example of filial affection, and her patient suffering ended in calm resignation and faith in her savior. John T. DeSellum was born Dec 15 1810 and died Oct 19 1891; he lived a conscientious and exemplary life and died in the faith of the gospel. The original boundaries of the cemetery remain unknown, and archaeological examination found no evidence of fencing other than a line of stones. Tenants and/or slaves are thought to have lived in the rear of the property, but the location of other grave sites has not been discovered.
