Moore cemetery is located 3 miles north of Eugene covered bridge on the west side of what is known as Iles Hill road. This is the burying ground of the Thomas Moore family, who were pioneer settlers in this area, entering all of Section 18, in 1822. This was at one time a very large family lbut the name has long ago died out in this area and the land has had many owners.
This cemetery had deteriorated to the worst possible condition being used as a hot lot with no protection at all for the graves.
At some point in the past after Harold L. O'Donnell, author of Eugene Township The First 100 Years visited this cemetery, someone from Washington, D.C. came to Moore cemetery. They moved the gravestone to an area where they poured a concrete foundation and then put a very strong high steel fence all around the gravesones. There is no gate and you can only stand on the other side and view the stones. This was done to make sure no further harm would come to the gravestones from man or animals. The gravestones are not located on the original grave sites. It is a few feet from it. The land is now owned by Mack Fultz and it can be seen from the road as you drive by.



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-83-20 (Moore).
