NEW TRENTON CEMETERY
(Possum Hollow?)


Located on the North Edge of New Trenton, Whitewater Township, Franklin County, Indiana
(Opposite St. Peters Road on the East Side of Route 52)

This is a list of the actual stones and their location in the cemetery at this time. Not many of the stones are intact and undisturbed. There are unmarked fieldstones and remnants of stones, that may mark additional graves. Some of the location codes are linked to photos of the headstones.

NOTE: A State Library list entitled "Possum Hollow" includes, along with 32 graves which are on this list, two additional graves. These graves are added to this New Trenton list with appropriate notation. These two stones (Clarissa and Larken Gant) had not been located in the New Trenton Cemetery as of April 27, 1998.
