Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Linthicum Cemetery in Monroe County, Indiana. It is located off of South Linthicum Road in Indian Creek.
GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 38.99966, Longitude: -86.62464
We visited this cemetery on June 09, 2015. It was a lovely, sunny day the day we visited this cemetery. It was fairly easy to find, though the I-69 construction made for a few detours. The cemetery is small, only a little over 100 interments. Maps show that there is a church across the road from it, but I did not see a church, though there was a gravel parking area. I am not sure when this cemetery was founded or if it was a family cemetery or a church cemetery.

This Thomas Linthicum is my 5th Great Uncle. Richard Linthicum died in Guilford Co., NC. There is no record of his grave. Richard apparently came to NC from MD after the Rev War with his children and his Sherwood inlaws but without Mary Sherwood Linthicum. My 2nd Great Grandfather, William A Linthicum settled in nearby Crawford Co. after the Civil War but I suspect he never knew he had all this family close by.
I found your posting while looking for information on the Linthicum Church that was across the road from the Cemetery.
I love to share and learn Linthicum history and would love to hear from some of my Southern IN Linthicum cousins
Thank you
Thank you so much for your information!!
