To reach this cemetery from Landersdale drive south Mann Road for about .5 mile. Turn right or west onto Hadley Road about 1/4 mile, turn left or south onto Navajo Court. The cemetery will be on the east or left side of the road, just after the first home.

This cemetery is less than a mile north from Fox Hill. One can head north on Mann Road and follow the rest of the above directions to the cemetery. The cemetery is east of Mooresville, Indiana.

According to the Cowen notes, the cemetery was in poor condition and was no longer cared for in 1967. It appears to have been actively used in the mid to late 1800s. Currently it is fenced and a church that was adjacent to the cemetery has now been converted to a home.

I have transcribed, with permission, from work completed in the fall of 1967 by Carl and Janet Cowen, when they read all existing and legible stones. - Jeff Curtis
