Friend Cemetery, Washington Twp
Section 35 Township 13N Range 5W
39 31 06N Latitude; 86 56 00W Longitude
This cemetery is on private property. Obtain permission from property owner before visiting this cemetery.
Directions:
Go southwest of Manhattan on Co Rd 450W for two miles. This road will make several turns and become 500W. Co Rd 750S will meet this road coming in from the west. At that point, there is a lane going east. Follow that lane east about ¼ mile, then go south through the field to the woods where you will find the cemetery. A GPS will be a big help in finding this cemetery.
Condition: Poor
Recent records indicate this cemetery was destroyed by loggers. This is not true. The area was logged not too many years ago, and the loggers did in fact go right through the middle of the cemetery. But the loggers did not appear to damage any stones. I was able to locate almost all the stones from older readings. There are some mature trees that need to be cut and removed. The area should also be mowed. Some of the stones are standing and in good condition. But most are flat on the ground or leaning against trees.
