Conner/Moss Cemetery- Sometimes called Guilliam Farm

Russell Twp., Putnam Co., Ind

Section 25

This cemetery is on private property. Obtain permission from property owner before visiting this cemetery.

Directions:

The Conner/Moss, is about ¼ mile southeast of the Blakesburg Cemetery. From the Blakesburg Cemetery go south down the hill to the creek. Go east on the creek about 200 yards, then follow the creek south. After about 100 yards, the creek will turn east again. The cemetery is about 100 yards (maybe a little less) from this bend, on a hill on the north side of Ramp Creek.

Condition: Poor

There are several mature trees in the older part that could be cut and removed. The area should be searched for more stones. There are two legible stones, and about a half dozen very old field stones used as markers. One of the legible stones is standing, but one is flat on the ground in several pieces. It is still in good condition otherwise. Information indicates there were be several more burials here.
