The following information was compiled from the work sheets of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In order to make the information available to others who might seek it, I have endeavored to include all of the information I was provided with. I have attempted to copy spelling and dates as listed and apologize for any typographical errors.
For the information of anyone not familiar with the Patoka Memorial Cemetery, it is just off of State Highway 145 in Orange County, in the vicinity of Painter Creek Boat Ramp. It sits on the hill above the lake and provides a beautiful view of Southern Indiana scenery. A perpetual care fund was set up for the upkeep of the cemetery, so it is well taken care of. Several lots are available for future burials.
I undertook this indexing because of my ancestors whose remains were relocated during this project. This listing is dedicated to their memory.
My heartfelt thanks go to Mr. Roger Williams, Director of Relocations, United States Army Corps of Engineers. Without his assistance this index would not have been possible, for it contains information that is not available elsewhere.
