Today's stop was a bit of a surprise. Early on in the days of the pandemic, my daughter and I went for a drive, figuring that one thing we could do to get out of the house was to go cemetery hunting. Heading out toward Owen County, we drove up and down country roads, enjoying the views and the solitude, when lo and behold, we saw the sign for the Gross Cemetery. It is an active cemetery with over 600 burials. It was established in 1851 with the oldest burial marked in the front of the cemetery. I haven't found much in the way of information on this cemetery so far.

Our first stop is at the oldest grave in the cemetery for James Madison Gross.
Born: November 19. 1851
Died: November 27, 1851
He was the son of Josiah Gross (1828-1904) and Martha Ann Dyer Gross (1830-1881). They are both buried nearby in Gross Cemetery.
There is a sign next to this headstone that states the following:
"First buried in Gross Cemetery
James Madison Gross
Nov. 19, 1851 - Nov. 27, 1851
Son of Josiah and Martha Ann Gross
Grandson of James and Catherine Gross
Thinking he owned this land, James offered
this burial site for his grandson.
Upon learning he did not own the land, he
purchased 6 acres from Reason Shipman
on Dec. 23, 1851 for 15 dollars to
become the Gross Cemetery
Memorial Day 2001"
Had he survived he would have had at least a couple of siblings:
Nancy C. Gross (1845-1868) - buried in Gross Cemetery, Whitehall, Owen County, Indiana

This little one was the only child and was the pet of the family and it was hard to five little Manny (sic) up, but the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

UPDATE: I received a wonderful series of emails from a visitor concerning some of the burials here in Gross Cemetery. One of them was filled with wonderful information about the Little Flock Primitive Baptist Church in nearby Whitehall.
"LITTLE FLOCK
Little Flock Church was organized in Clay township, Owen County, Indiana,
on October 8, 1842, by ten members who were dismissed from Hebron Church in
Greene County, most of whom were residing on Little Raccoon Creek. The
meeting was held at the Union Schoolhouse.
The church continued to meet in the Union Schoolhouse and in the homes of
the members until January 1855, when a frame meeting house was completed,
about one mile west of Whitehall on State Route 43. The church built a new
meeting house in about 1995, about two and one half miles east of Spencer,
or five miles west of Elletsville.
In 1843 the church voted to petition for membership in the White River
Association, which was granted, and it is still a member of that body. The
church divided in about 1977, and both parts of the divided church used the
same building for several years, but the church body recognized as sound
and orderly by the White River Association now meets in the above mentioned
new meeting house.
Pastors have included Elders T. Oliphant, L. L. Walden, M. C. Fulk, James
H. Oliphant, D. T. Poynter, Gideon Potter, R. A. Oliphant, Peter F.
Watkins, Thomas Mitchell, James L. Noblett, W. S. Fisher, O. O. Chastain,
James V. Wolfe, George W. Atkins, Richard Thacker, Jesse Brinson, Guy
Green, H. J. Gwaltney, W. Arnold Malicoat, Cecil Fuson, Homer Cox, Leslie
Brinson, Ralph Culy, Kenneth Morris, Raymond Adkins, and Eddie Fewell.
Clerks (all of whom were members of the church) included: Alfred Pace,
William Whitaker, Lemuel Heron, John L. Wilson, Andrew Christy, Joel W.
Malicoat, J. H. Freeman, William Stogsdill, C. E. Brown, Alva Brinson,
Myrtle Malicoat, O. E. Thacker, Marjorie Hawkins, Ray Brinson, David
Brinson, Jerry D. Thacker, Marjorie Hawkins, and Polly Chesser.
SURNAMES OF MEMBERS:
Acuff, Adkins, Bean, Brinson, Brown, Burke, Chessor, Christy, Clark, Crull,
Dawley, Durnil, Ellis, Freeman, Hawkins, Hendricks, Heron, Latimer,
Malicoat, Maners, McDaniels, McDonald, Mong, Morris, Murphy, Oliphant,
Pace, Pearcy, Poynter, Rankin, Sink, Stogsdill, Stone, Syester, Thacker,
Walker, Wampler, Whitaker, Wilson, Woodward (very incomplete list)."
She also mentioned that a grave here for James Less (1806-1897) is listed as a 2nd cousin of General Robert E. Lee. Unfortunately, when I was here, I did not find this grave, so there isn't a photograph for it.
