The Juliet Cemetery is a one-family or one person grave about which very little is known. The stone reads "Juliet, wife of Jacob DeHaven, died May 29,1840." It is located on land entered by Jacob DeHaven and was in the DeHaven family for many years. The last owner was John S. Brown, a U. B. minister.

Many stories have been told about this grave, and the name Parker is associated with it. As the story goes, a family was passing through the area by covered wagon, and several of the children in this family were stricken by an epidemic of unknown etiology. A search of of marriage records, however, do not reveal a marriage between a Dehaven and a Parker.

The mystery continues.
