Total records = 37.
Take Promenade Street north out of Havana. Promenade will turn
into County Road 20/East Manito Road. 1.5 miles north of Havana
you will see a old building on the right which is the Quiver School
House (Est. 1917). Just after the school house the road curves to
the right (east). Slow and you will see a dirt road on the left.
Take this dirt road and stay right when the road branches. At this
point the road becomes very sandy and there are trees on both sides
of the road. When the trees turns to farm land look to the right
(south). You will see the cemetery in the distance.
I parked and walked from this point but there were tire tracks
that lead down the field to the cemetery. I stopped and spoke
to one of the residents that lives off the dirt road and he stated
that this is the only entrance to the cemetery and at some times
of the year the road is only accessible by 4 wheel drive. He also
stated local residents take care of the cemetery and had put a
chain link fence around it some years ago.
Early maps call it the Rakestraw Cemetery, with the first burial
listed being that of Maria Rakestraw in 1843. It is not known
when they changed the name to Ringhouse, since those burials were
later and only three of them.
I surveyed this cemetery Oct 16, 2007. I have a digital photo
of every headstone.
