REELSVILLE CEMETERY

Turn North off #40 at Pleasant Gardens, cross Penn. R. R. go North to top of hill, Cemetery on right at T road.

In September of 1980 this Cemetery was in horrible mess and it was impossible to read the stones on the fence row. We returned in March of 1981 and someone had cleaned out much of the brush and we discovered more than 50 additional stones.
This cemetery read, researched and recorded Sept 13, 1980, updated March 1981, by:
Grace Cohn and Martha Williams both of Reelsville, IN

Check the bottom of page from funeral home record finds that did not have stones.
