This abandoned, virtually destroyed, pioneer cemetery is on property once owned by John Burk, an original settler whose family was prominant in the development of Hamilton Co., IN. John served in the Revolutionary War in Virginia and his military headstone is the only one intact, having been placed in more recent years. From Olio Rd, turn north on 141st St. At sharp left turn in road, you will see a lane going back to the right. You will have to park outside the gate and walk back to the cemetery, which is across an old bridge, at the top of the hill on the right, looking down on I-69. Continuing research is being conducted to identify other burials. There are 2 destroyed stones on the ground, one of which bears the name "Hayden"...possibly a Burk...and another with an epitaph left at the bottom, with the top buried or destroyed. An interesting find is an old tree in the cemetery with the intials "J.B. + M.K." long ago carved in the bark. Updates will be forthcoming.
