This cemetery is located behind the old abandoned East Branch Church of Christ building, on E. Branch Rd. (R15), southwest of SR555. Would estimate the cemetery to be approximately two acres in size, surrounded on all four sides by farm fence in good repair and accesable by a double width gate to the left of the church. The land in this area is rather hilly, but the cemetery is situated on a fairly level & gently rolling area of land. The following readings and accompanying images represent only a small sampling of this cemetery. The cemetery appears to have began being used for this purpose about 1830's and recent burials indicate it's continued use to present times. These preliminary readings are in no particular order and amount to about 20% of the individuals buried in this cemetery. As always, I make every effort to correctly transcribe the memorials, but because of weather related wear & deteriation, not able to be 100% sure on all those that I have read. Don't substitute these readings for good court house research. Should anyone present sourced information that improve upon these readings, will be pleased to update this report with you revisions.
