| This cemetery is in Section 3
of Bonaparte Township on what was the old Haberman farm. The DAR in 1935
referred to it as the Chapman Cemetery, hence the name is retained here. The area is fenced, but otherwise untended. The stones were lying flat on the ground, and completely covered to a depth of six or eight inches with leaves, vines, and fallen branches. It is near the remains of an old farmhouse which was owned by Charles Keasling, and presently owned by Roy Chapman. (1964) Burials:
