Ashbaugh Cemetery

Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Ashbaugh Cemetery in Stinesville, Indiana.  This cemetery is located up on a rise just behind the Stinesville Elementary School.

GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 39.29994, Longitude: -86.64634

This cemetery appears to be a family cemetery and I can only assume that it was established when the first Ashbaugh was buried here.  We visited on June 08, 2015 as part of my vacation trip to find more cemeteries in Monroe County.
