The Sims Cemetery was flooded between 1965, when the project was begun to create the Brookville Reservoir/Lake and 1975, and the tombstones (obviously not 120-year-old human remains) were moved to New Fairfield Cemetery in adjacent Franklin Co, IN. This is obviously not an 1843 stone. The star recognizes William Sims' service in the Revolutionary War.
