Bethel Cemetery (Nathan Hinkle Grave)

At Nathan Hinkle's grave, local legend holds that visitors who walk around the monument and say his name three times will hear him answer. Nathan Hinkle (1749-1848) enlisted in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in April 1776 and served nearly three years under Captain Henry Crisp in Colonel Miles's Regiment, fighting at the battles of Long Island, Brandywine, and Paoli before eventually settling in Sullivan County, Indiana. A 15-foot monument depicting a Revolutionary War soldier at parade rest was raised over his grave at Bethel Cemetery in Hymera and unveiled in October 1904.
