Directions:
This cemetery is on the south side of 425N, just west of where the road makes a 90° turn to the north. From the corner, take the drive that goes south over the old railroad bed. Cross west over the north/south fencerow. Walk south along the fence. The cemetery is to the west. The square of trees stands alone in the middle of the field.
Corners:
NW: N39°49.349’ W86°26.933’
SE: N39°49.337’ W86°26.912’
Approximate Center:
N39°49.343’ W86°26.923’ or
N394921 W862655
Condition:
This cemetery is not fenced, mowed, or maintained. Three of the four corner posts are standing and most burials seem to be in the northwest corner of the cemetery. There are some large granite stack stones that are leaning badly or already fallen. The tablets that were found are on the ground. There is a very large tablet for Angeline Chadwick and her infant daughter that has also fallen. Gravestones for 11 people were found and are linked to Find-A-Grave with biographical information.
