Corners:
NW: N39°48.881’ W86°36.260’

Approximate Center:

N394852 W863615
Condition:
This cemetery was restored by Jessica Felix, students from Cascade Middle School, and the landowners in the Spring of 2007. It is in a well-used cow pasture but is surrounded by barbed wire and concrete corner posts. Prior to the Thomases buying the farm, cattle had been in the cemetery, causing much of the damage to the stones. Many stones and pieces were never found.
The landowners cleared the brush and dead trees from the cemetery which allowed for the restoration of the stones. All stones were cleaned, repaired and reset. There are two very large gravecovers supported by bricks in the southwest corner of the cemetery. A tree has caused them to be pushed up and sideways. The tree will need to be cut down in the fall before the bricks can be replaced and the covers moved back into place.
