Cemetery is about 3 miles N.N.W. of the courthouse in Logansport [as the crow flies.]

Cemetery is about 100 feet in diameter located on the summit of a circular knoll of sandy soil [which according to R. B. Whitsett Jr.] “Appeared to look like an artificial [man-made] Indian-mound”.

Cemetery is 50 ft. north of an east-to-west unpaved road & up a slope. Cemetery is about 100 ft. west or S.W. of the brick farm-home of Mr. Lowell Forgey [Mar. 26, 1941]. This sturdy brick remodeled structure served in the pre-consolidation days as District School #4. Cemetery has long been abandoned for burial purposes. It is owned by Noble Township and in 1940 contained about a dozen Cedar trees of various sizes & several assorted Pine trees.

No other stones were found but a few unlettered fragments, though other burials here were probable & suspect many un-marked graves.
