The Sayler Makeever Cemetery in Rensselaer, Indiana is way out there. Literally. Surrounded by cornfields and gently rolling hills, unless you notice the sign that leads down the long gravel road–you’ll miss it completely.
Sayler Makeever Cemetery: First Settlers to Jasper County
If you recall from the last post, the Makeever headstone is rather grand. Ready to guess their ages? First, Patrick Makeever died in 1856 and his wife didn’t pass away until 1872. He lived to the ripe old age of 104–she made it to 108! I’d love to know their secret. They didn’t exactly have it easy in Rensselaer, Indiana back then!
