Shedd Cemetery, Spring Creek Road, Three Oaks Township.

(Transcriber's Note: This is a very small, old cemetery, surrounded by farmland. Many of the gravestones are nearly impossible to read, and it is quite easy to see how this has occurred over the years as there are no trees, shrubbery or other natural windbreaks to shelter the cemetery from the elements. As time permits I will attempt to corrobrate this index with work done by others to insure completeness and accuracy).
