Old Bethel Cemetery
Craig Township

From list by Wanda Morford-1980
This cemetery is located on Spring Branch Road, which runs off of State Route 56, west of Vevay. It is approximately two miles from the state road. There are a number of broken stones. Many have been repaired, but some names and dates have been lost in the process. It is a well kept cemetery. There are very few field stones.
