Sheila,
This cemetery is also known as "Wilson Mill Cemetery" and is located in Vernon
Township. You are probably aware that the Indiana Genealogical Society has cds
with the locations of many of the cemeteries in Indiana. Jennings County is on
Volume 3, and the following information is given for Wilson Mill/Reed:
WILSON MILL; REED S5 T6N R9E
The private cemetery is at the end of CR325E, along the Vernon (South) Fork of
the Muscatatuck River.
From US50, go east on CR200N/Oakdale Rd., then south on CR325E.

"When I was much younger, about
25> years ago, I used to clean and maintain
a cemetery
tha> t is back in the woods near my father’s farm. One
time> I
cleaned and raked it and was able to count about 90
graves but only about 30
or so had visible markers.
Many> are probably fallen over into the sunken
graves, many
have been vandalized. I went back to visit it yesterday
and found
it has been vandalized again and trees have
fa> llen in it and many of the
markers that used to stand
h> ave fallen or have been knocked over. I can not
find
th> is cemetery on any maps or lists of cemeteries in
Jenning> s County. It
is located in Bigger Township just over
the> Campbell Township line. It
overlooks Otter Creek from
the North looking South, just West of Indiana
Gardens.
I> ran across the name of Rev. Wm. T. Stott who pastored
i> n Vernon
starting in 1825. His grave is there as well
a> s his family. Some of the names
there are Moncreif,
Sto> tt, Phares, one Civil War grave of a soldier named Gi
deo> n O. Trickey who was a musician with the 6th Indiana
Inf> antry. I think the
most recent grave I found was 1926.
I would really like to know the name
of this
cemetery.">
