      HOOVER'S CEMETERY

      Hoover's Cemetery, known also a[s] Mount Hope, and Athens Cemetery, is on the north side of SR-14, about three-tenths of a mile east of 650E - a few hundred feet east of the town of Athens, Henry Township, Fulton County, Indiana. A sign at the entrance reads "Hoover[s] Cemetery, 1891."

      Land for this cemetery was donated by Henry Hoover and William Rannells. William Rannells and his wife Susan were originally from Virginia, but removed to Ohio where they remained for some time before moving on to settle east of Athens, between Rochester and Akron, in Fulton Co., Ind. They brought with them a young slave girl, Fannie Rose, who died in 1855. She was buried in the Rannells family burial ground which was later made a part of Hoover??s cemetery.

      The Rannells house, home of William Rannells, and later used as a tavern or inn, was probably thirty rods, a little south & east of the old Mount Hope church, which was at the south-east corner of the cemetery. Traces of the old church foundation are still visible. (Fulton Co Ind Hist Soc Quarterly, Dec. 1968 (No. 2), pp. 5-6, 15; also Marguerite Miller, Home Folks, Vol. 2, p. 93).

      The cemetery is divided into four sections: North, South, East and West. Rows run north and south; rows are numbered from west to east; stones read from north to south.

      Readings made in 1974, 1975 and 1991.
