The township contains Creath Morris Cemetery.
I believe that the location of the Creath Morris Cemetery is just above the old Grimsby Illinois Elementary School. As a child I lived on the lane that is now called Sarensen. We used to play over on that hill above the school. I don't believe any of the markers are still there because the weather has badly eroded the steep slope. Melissa Janean Holt - Note added 2017
