Boriun [Borium ] Cemetery is located in the SE Corner of the SW quarter of the NE quarter of Sec. 21, Rge 13 West Twp. 11 North. It was aso known as Sweetin Cemetery. This cemetery was read 11 Apr. 1987 by Carl L. and Wanda Guthrie Phillips. As one looks upon this cemetery, they are reminded of the passage from the funeral service, "Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust", and so does nature return to claim its own from what was carved out of her to become a resting place for our forefathers.
