History:

Wilson Harvey Rishel (1853-1936) and his wife Frances Helen (Rockey) Rishel (1853-1924) owned a farm in the vicinity of Tylersville, in Logan Township.  When stillborn twins were born to the family, probably in the 1880s, they were buried in the orchard just South of the homestead, on the family farm.  The orchard is gone and no stones were ever erected to mark the burial site.
