According to "The Village of Brownsburg," a book written by Peg Kennedy and Frankie Konovsek, "The Harris Cemetery, originally located on the east bank of White Lick Creek north of Crawfordsville Road where the creek curves, may have been the oldest cemetery in the town of Brownsburg. Apparently laid too close to the creek, the bank eventually eroded and the graves either no longer exist, or are buried farther to the east than first imagined. As unpleasant as it may seem, it is also possible they washed downstream." There are no visible signs of this cemetery at this point.


The cemetery was located in Lincoln Township. The map location is approximate.


Indiana Cemetery Locations, Volume 3, published by the Indiana Genealogical Society (April 2007), gives the primary cemetery name as Harris 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-32-15 (Danville South).


The Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory (IHSSI) survey number for Danville South Cemetery is 063-149-35166 with the dataset compiled in 1989.


The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature ID for the cemetery is 2093647 (Danville South Cemetery).
