NOTE WELL: The following is a “work in progress”. It is certainly
incomplete and I’m sure there are errors and omissions. I want to hear
from you about additions, corrections, etc. What this list represents is
the current status of my efforts to compile a comprehensive list of cemeteries
in Clark County. Much of the information shown here was obtained by noting
the cemeteries listed in Clark County Libraries as well as information
from the U.S. Geological Services (which indicated some 30 cemeteries,
many very well-known sites being excluded from this USGS list). This list
has also been augmented with information from a July 27, 1997 on-line search
of the Indiana State Library Genealogy Division's Cemetery Database.
