Another lost cemetery...the history of this area. This cemetery is supposed to be located near the intersection of Hwy 60 and Hwy 31. It is probably lost. From "The History of the Ohio Falls" (published 1882): "As early as 1816, the old Cunningham burying ground, one-fourth mile north of Hamburg, was used by the family whose name it bears. It was located, when laid out, on the Salem and Jeffersonville road (now known as State Road 60), but since the various changes in the location of this highway, the old graveyard has been thrown into a field, which at present (1882) is under cultivation. There is nothing to mark the resting-place in this graveyard of many of the first settlers of this township. Some few of the farmers deny that there is any difference in the growth of the crops on the old burial site and the field outside of the original enclosure."... "In another place, a school house is spoken of in the Cunningham settlement, one-fourth mile north of Hamburg, around which quite a large graveyard was located. Both school and grave yard have long since disappeared, with now but an evergreen to make the old site. Mr. Dougherty has just been through this old grave yard. Only four stones remain; the remainder of the markers are just common stones at head and foot of graves.".... (Published 1909): "In 1837, a meeting house was built in Hamburg. Some years after, this congregation moved to Sellersburg and of late years has not affiliated with other churches of this same name because of opposition to instrumental music and organized missionary work."
