This cemetery is located off Tunnel
Mill Road, on Old Highway 62, 3 miles South of New Washington. Though this
cemetery was believed to be in Charlestown Township, the Charlestown Township
Trustee reported on 07/02/97 that Works Cemetery was in Oregon Township.
However, the Washington Township map clearly shows this site to
be in Section 145 of Washington Township (see Washington
Twp. map in PDF format).
This site is referred to by several
names, including Henly/Work Cemetery and Bower/Work Cemetery.
This cemetery is located on Old
State Road 62, west of Hibernia Road, in Washington Township, Clark County,
Indiana.
