Breading Cemetery-Redstone Township
Transcribed by by Marilyn Foster and Karen Souhrada.

Located on the old farm in Redstone Township, these three family graves are covered by a raised box tomb and the whole surrounded by a stone wall measuring on the outside 10.5 feet x 21 feet, with a heavy coping rock on the top of the wall measuring 16"x16"long, 5"x6" high. It is said by the locals that J.V. Thompson requested permission to erect a monument here. There may have been a bequest in trust for that work. In Ellis' History, (p. 650) it says that these people were buried in the Laughlin Burying Grounds, 2.5 miles East of Brownsville, in sight of the National Pike, and also his father, James, and his wife, Ann Ewins,
