Barbour Cemetery

Located just east of New Goshen, IN on Durkees Ferry Rd.

This information was compiled by Opal Funkhouser. The cemetery is now completely overgrown. I don't know if any headstones are still readable or not. My great-grandmother said this was the first cemetery in Fayette Twp, Vigo Co, IN.

You can find more info on some of these names in my online database.
