Brooks Family Cemetery - Springfield Twp.

Transcribed from headstones by Ken O'Neal

Directions: From Normalville, turn off RT 711 onto George Prinkey Rd. near the Normalville Church entrance. Continue to the SECOND road to the left, turn left, go 4/10 mile to top of the hill. There will be fields on both sides of road. You will see the foundation of the Brooks home on the left. About 75 yards before the foundation, you will see a road on the right going through the field. The cemetery is about 200 yards in the field next to this road. It is my understanding that the stones were removed from the cemetery at one time and later returned by the landowner after people complained.
