Indian Mound Cemetery is located West of Laurel Hill, FL on a hill overlooking the Yellow River. The land is now private property, fenced, and is not accessible without the owner's permission. Through the years, the land has been used for timber harvesting, virtually destroying what was a cemetery of at least half an acre in size according to local residents. The only remaining monument is that of Melissa Hutchison Cawthon. Other markers were made of wood, and were lost during controlled burns. Ground depressions near the Cawthon marker suggest 3 or 4 nearby graves, but thick underbrush at the time of the survey prevented the identification of more. The name Indian Mound has been used by locals to indicate the hill. The original name of the cemetery is not known, but family records and newspaper obituaries from the 1860's and 1870's suggest it was the "Eureka Cemetery", and would have been in Walton County, Florida at that time.
