GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 39.28965, Longitude: -86.22361
We stopped by this cemetery on October 09, 2015. It is a small cemetery with just under 80 interments. I have no history on this small cemetery. I did notice that there is church just down the road from here called the Bethel Church. I am not sure if this was at one time the cemetery that was connected to the church or if it is only coincidence.
