| Old Salem Cemetery Old Salem Cemetery, located southeast of Lacon in Richland Township was started in 1834 when 18 year old Mary Conley, daughter of Preston Conley was buried in a plot on the land. It had been given by Nathan Owen as burying ground. It is the 3rd oldest cemetery in Marshall County. The first fence was built around the cemetery in 1890. Until 1917, families took care of their own family grave plots. In 1917, the cemetery association was formed and a fund established to maintain the cemetery. |
