The cemetery is actually located on the old Cole then later Criswell farm in a field
between I-64 and Indiana SR 64, south of the railroad track. The location listed in some
of the references is very vague. I have visited the cemetery with Jack Briles, a cemetery
preservation/restoration specialist. There was a feature done on this cemetery in the
Courier-Journal, a Louisville, KY newspaper, in the last year or so. This story had a few
pictures along with the article. Sorry I do not have a date; however, the author was Dale
Moss (I think).
There is a transcription in the New Albany-Floyd County Library, Indiana Room, which lists
all of the stones in that cemetery (at the time of the transcription). Be sure to get
the one done by Jack Briles as it is the most complete transcription. He has used GPS to
record the locations of the cemeteries.
It is possible to visit the cemetery upon obtaining permission of the property owner.
