GPS Coordinates: 39.0924990, -86.5592190

This tiny cemetery is located on the corner of Victor Pike and Dillman Road, enclosed by a chainlink fence.  There is the remains of a house foundation just behind it and an old barn. I am not sure if those places have any relation to those buried in the cemetery or not.  There are only about 20 markers or so, some fieldstone with no markings, but the corner that has been fenced in is quite large.  There may actually be more graves, but it was hard to determine if the depressions in the ground were those of unmarked graves or just from animals digging and the ground sinking.
