VIGO  COUNTY  INDIANA  CEMETERIES

 

VOLUME  I

 

Harrison, Lost Creek, Nevins, and Otter Creek Townships

 

This work has been divided into four sections, this being the northeast part of Vigo county.

 

There are one hundred twenty-seven (plus) cemeteries in this county.  There are a few that have their own records, so, we have not copied them.  We are concentrating on the older and smaller family sites.  We have found several cemeteries gone, being removed to other places due to coal mines, area growth, and larger farm lands.

 

The reader will notice the township maps have the cemeteries marked whether they are listed in this publication or not.  There will be three volumes to follow this, but it takes a lot of fence climbing, chigger fighting, and briar dodging to come up with some of these old forgotten, destroyed, and neglected burial grounds.

 

Thanks to those who have assisted in this project that we started as a hobby.

Otter Creek Township

Markle List #42  /  Mattox-Wood List #18

 

 

This cemetery is north of Terre Haute, Otter Creek Township, Vigo County, Indiana, on State Road 41.  It is on private property and very little remains, as the road leading to the cemetery has been closed.  The original road to the Wabash-Erie Canal washed out and a new road was made through the middle of the cemetery (by the original land owner W. B. Keiger) and tombstones scattered:  At one time it had several tombstones, but many were stolen.  There are four remaining badly weathered, unreadable sandstone markers.  The remaining cemetery is surrounded by a worn split-rail fence and a has a cement statue of an angel, on the farm of Jay W. Dennis, with a wooden sign that reads, “Little Angels - Keiger Cemetery 1836.”  Dates in ( ) are calendar configured.

 

Information from Mr. Jay W. Dennis:  15 December 2006 (see Book I, page 62).

This lovely bud so young, so fair

Called home to show how sweet a flower

In paradise would bloom.

 

 

Now, I lay my burden down

Exchanged the cross for the crown.
