Spider Hill (Methodist) Cemetery in Rock Creek Township, Wells County, Indiana.

The ground for Methodist Cemetery was purchased in 1861 from the Schnolity family. The Methodist Church was erected here in 1867/8 then was later moved to Rockford, Indiana. Later this Church was abandoned and the congregation moved to its present site, a short distance north of the old cemetery.It is said that Eliza Young was buried here in 1824, but that date seems quite a bit early for this area, to us.

The cemetery is no longer associated with the church. It is well maintained and active.

There are lots of Reddings buried here. Among the Civil War veterans buried here is Jones Redding a Pvt. In Co. D, 51st Indiana Infantry. There is also a tombstone here for Hughey E. Redding, Volunteered Aug. 15, 1862, served in Capt. John Smith's Company (H) of the 111th Ohio Volunteers. The 111th was mustered into service at Toledo in September of 1862. Redding died June 28, 1863, 24 years of age, one of 215 to die in the Regiment. When he died, the Regiment was in pursuit of Morgan in Kentucky and eastern Tennessee.
