About Christian Church Cemetery
This cemetery served McClellan's Settlement, named for storekeeper William B. McClellan, and was first used in 1877 for the burial of George McCausland, brother of benefactor Eleanor Barham. A congregation organized at the McClellan Schoolhouse in 1876 dedicated a chapel in 1879 as Bethany Christian Church. Renamed First Christian, it moved to Burton in 1913 but kept caring for it.
