Rogers-Fee Lane Cemetery

Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at the Rogers-Fee Lane Cemetery in Bloomington, Indiana.  It is located on the campus of Indiana University in front of Foster Quad.

GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 39.17501, Longitude: -86.51884

We visited this cemetery on a quiet June 06, 2015.  The campus was empty with all of the students gone so we didn't have to worry about the parking issues.  This cemetery is surrounded by a lovely stone wall and is well tended.  Some of the stones could use some attention as they are broken or worn.  I am unsure of the history of this particular cemetery.
