Directions:
This cemetery is on the east side of CR 0, across from 600S, south of Clayton. It is across from the new Clayton Cemetery. It is visible from the road.
Corners:
NW: N39°40.448’ W86°31.366’
SE: N39°40.424’ W86°31.340’
Approximate Center:
N39°40.436’ W86°31.353’ or
N394026 W863121
Condition:
This cemetery is fenced on three sides (the road is to the west), mowed, but not maintained. Prior to restoration, this cemetery was in deplorable condition. Many stack stones had fallen and were sinking. Most tablets had fallen long ago and were sinking face up. Almost all standing stones were leaning.
The cemetery was restored in 2005 and 2006 by Jessica Felix and the 8th graders at Cascade Junior High. Many large monuments were righted, stones cleaned, broken stones repaired, and leaning stones reset. The difference is amazing.
