This burial ground is located about one mile south of the Delaware county line at the intersection of Henry county roads 900 north and the Old Muncie pike A lot of the people buried here lived in Delaware county IN
The last time I was there, which was about four years ago, it was being well taken care of by the local landowner and the township trustee.
