Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at the Chambersville Cemetery in Spencer, Indiana.
We stopped at this cemetery located on State Road 46 just before McCormick's Creek State Park on September 26, 2015. I believe that there are actually two cemeteries at this location, the Chambersville Cemetery and Mount Olive Church Cemetery as there are two different signs. We didn't go to the church cemetery side on this trip as we were on our way to go apple picking and didn't want to take too much time. This cemetery is listed as having a little over 2500 interments. This likely includes the ones on the church side as well.

She was the wife of Albert Patrick (?-?). I am unsure as to where he was buried. She was only 14 years old and was already married.
It is listed on her headstone that she was the niece of Elizabeth Landrum (?-?).
The name on her headstone actually says Isabelle Whalen. At the very bottom of the headstone it is inscribed with "Wife of Albert Patrick". This seems to be somewhat of an afterthought.
