Located in Kirkland Township, Adams County, Indiana, the cemetery
of St. Luke's Church is five miles west of Monroe and one and a
half miles north.  It is situated on the west side of County Road
600 West, between roads 100 North and 200 North.

This reading was done in August 1998 and follows the rows of stones
from south to north beginning with Row 1 on the east (toward the
road) and ending with Row 13 on the west.  The cemetery has room to
grow (double in size) westward, between the road and the row
counted as Row 1 in this reading.

The oldest death dates found in this active cemetery were 1904. 
Zion Cemetery, which is one mile south, has older graves.

This reading notes the location of the monument, copies its
inscription, and gives a concise description of the gravestone.
