Inscription. According to an 1877 county history. St. Joseph County donated these plots of land to Centreville as a cemetery in 1833 under the condition that a white picket fence be built around the site. Margaret Langley (1804-1850), who arrived with her husband, Thomas, and family in 1832 to establish the community of Centreville, is buried here. Most of the graves date from the nineteenth century.
