GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 39.26305, Longitude: -86.50210

This small family cemetery is located just off of Old North State Road 37.  At first it was a surprise to find this cemetery as it is located off into the woods just up a short gravel drive.  There are only about 12 interments at this cemetery with at least two being fairly new.  It has been fenced off and was in fairly good condition the day that we went, having recently been mowed.
