In the middle 1830's, the Potawatomis met the Scottish Covenanters on these lands, and the northeast Indiana Covenanters and Potawatomis became extremely good friends. The Covenanter religion at the time did not acknowledge the U.S. Constituton because of the issue of abolition, and the Northeast Indiana Covenanters believed that all men were created equal. Billy Beaks, a black member of their church who was fondly thought of by everyone in the settlement, lies in this cemetery. The reburial of an unknown Potawatomi took place on a site overlooking the valley between this cemetery and the John Duguid homestead where a log cabin once stood, as a symbol that no tomb or final resting place should ever be violated. The eulogy for the unknown Potawatomi was given by Chief N'swe Mak Ek, and Shup She Wana, a Potawatomi medicine man, sanctified the burial. Lee Duguid represented the Covenanter Church, Lynn Munger served as master of ceremony, and Girl and Boy Scouts, Brownies, Cub Scouts, and other guests attended to teach that all people should be permitted to rest in peace, with their spirit permitted to roam this land as they once did in previous generations.
