Listed below are photos and transcriptions of the tombstones in Area 6 of the Eel River Cemetery, Eel River Township, Allen County, Indiana. This cemetery was photographed in October of 2010. The cemetery is located on the northeast corner of Carroll and Madden Roads, near US 33. This cemetery is in use.
Indiana DNR Location Listings:
Quarter Section 1/4 1/4SW 1/4SW 1/4SW
Section 29, Twp 32N, Range 11E
Latitude 41.1911 Longitude 85.2861
Easting 643702 Northing 4561353

The listings are in alphabetical order. One surname is listed per stone. If a stone contained multiple people, the names on the stone are listed in order, from left to right. Information that pertains to a single individual is listed after their name. If the information pertains to multiple names, such as a marriage date, it is listed after all the names.

In some instances the stones were very worn and hard to read. In 1932 the DAR did a reading of the cemetery and in the 1980’s the Allen County Genealogical Society (ACGSI) did a reading. The information from these readings was used if the stones were unreadable or if the stones were not found.

At this time, requests to photograph specific tombstones are not being taken. There is no other information on any person other than what is listed. The photographs are copyrighted by the Mary Penrose Wayne Chapter, NSDAR and may not be copied or published in any way for profit. Copies of the photos may be printed for your personal use only. Please give the Mary Penrose Wayne Chapter, NSDAR credit when documenting where the transcriptions and photos were found.
