Located in Dudley township, Henry county, IN, in section #18, this cemetery was established on 23 Sep 1836 when John Horton donated ½ acre of land to the ME Church for the erecting of a church building and cemetery to be used by the members forever. The first trustees were George Atkinson, Samuel Templeton, Henry B. Welch, John Welch and William Woolen. (Recorded in deed book F, page #239.)
The cemetery has been maintained for several years by the landowner, Mr. Ron Barnes, who lives near the grounds. For several years it had been completely forgotten about until Mrs. Catherine Watkins and Thomas D. Hamm recorded it in November of 1991. This last fall, as a community volunteer service project, it was cleaned and some of the overgrowth removed. Most stones are in good condition but several need to be reset or straightened. Mr. Barnes has been working diligently on cleaning up some of the brush and tree limbs in the cemetery this year (2002) after a storm went through the area.
This cemetery is one of the projects scheduled for maintenance this year by the Henry County Cemetery Commission.
