Rees, trustees as of 6 Apr 1876, of the burial ground. On the 14th day of June, 1907, in pursuance of an act by the General Assembly, approved 4 Mar 1905, Samuel J. Dragoo, John V. Patterson and George Holbert of Delaware County, IN, trustees of the Powers burial ground, conveyed unto the Prairie Township trustee, Henry county, IN the Powers burial ground.
This burial ground is located about one mile south of the Delaware county line at the intersection of Henry county roads 900 north and the Old Muncie pike A lot of the people buried here lived in Delaware county IN
The last time I was there, which was about four years ago, it was being well taken care of by the local landowner and the township trustee.
