About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Friends Cemetery is located in Jackson Township, just east of New Farmington. It features a tall iron gate and is surrounded on all sides by trees and a fence. The oldest burials are found toward the east end of the lot. Church and school buildings were established on the site, but were reportedly torn down when the church disbanded in the 1890s. Some older records may also refer to this location as Quaker Cemetery or Driftwood Cemetery.

Other small cemeteries in Jackson County have used (or continue to use) the names Friends, Quaker, and Driftwood, so take care to verify burial sites and records.

Directions: From Seymour, beginning at the intersection of U.S. Highway 50 and State Road 11 (South Walnut Street), drive south out of town about 2.25 miles. Turn left onto County Road 300 North (Farmington Road) and drive east about 0.75 miles, just past the intersection with County Road 850 East. The cemetery is located on the north side of the road.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) does not appear to list this cemetery.

The cemetery is listed in the Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and in the State Historical Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) with Cemetery Record Number CR-36-115 (Friends/Driftwood).
