Directions: |
|
|
|
Go about three miles
west of Stilesville on US 40, or about three miles east of Mt. Meridian, to
Co Rd 825E, which is the Chandler Farm produce building. Turn south on 825E
and go about ¾ mile. On the east side of the road will be a limestone house,
then a metal building off the road. The cemetery is just north of the metal
building in the woods. |

Condition: Fair |
|
|
|
Most of the stones
are lying flat on the ground in a cow pasture. It is difficult to determine
the original location of the stones. There is no fence keeping the cattle
away from the cemetery. The stones
should be reset and the area should be fenced to keep cattle out. |

At least three other footstones and
many fragments |

Note: Stone one and stone two are
very likely two parts of the same stone. The shape and condition are similar, |
|
|
and the stones both measure the same
distance across, and are the same thickness. |
