- CEDARWOOD CEMETERY
In 1832 Henry Audulf gave 8 acres
of this land for two churches and a cemetery. A native of Germany,
Audulf was the first settler here. Methodist and Baptist churches
were built. A few years later both were destroyed by a tornado.
Only the Methodists rebuilt here. In 1912 the congregation moved
to a new church. This cemetery alone remains of Audulf's gift.
Here rest many of Richland's earliest citizens including Audulf's
son, John; his granddaughter, Mary Ann Audulf; and her husband,
Dr. Jubilee Smith, physician, minister and prominent Mason, who
also served the community as pharmacist and dentist.
