Excert from a Article dated 14 April 1898:
For the first time perhaps, an early resident of Warsaw did not originate in one of the New England states.  John H. Reddish was born in Maryland.  He came to Warsaw when a young man and married Martha, a daughter of Nehemiah Fargo.  They had 11 children, 5 of these died in infancy.

John, Martha, and most of their children, and many of Martha's family are buried in the Warsaw Village Pioneer Cemetery.  This cemetery,  known as the "old burying ground, lies on the east side of South Main Street, to the north of the area.  In the Spring of 1804, a two year old son of Sterling Stearns, a resident, died at Judge Webter's and was buried in this spot in the forest.  A young son of Nehemiah Fargo was drowned in the Oatka Creek the next Fall, and was buried in the same area.  The third burial was that of Dwight Noble, the first adult who died in Warsaw in January of 1807.  Thus became the beginning of this cemetery.
