Re: Gospel Hill Cemetery - .25 miles West of County Farm Rd and North of County Rd 1050S.
Does anybody out there know how to gain access to the premises? My wife and I were in the
vicinity in late May 2004 for other purposes and thought we'd stop there to take down
dates, etc., on a couple of her Swihart and Ulrey ancestors or ggg-grand-uncles, etc., but
could not find a way in.
If we were looking at the correct place, the cemetery is atop a small wooded hill
surrounded by privately owned farmland, with no road access to the site. Nobody was home
at either of the two adjoining farm houses who might control the property and we
didn't want to trespass across their lands, but it was darned frustrating to be so
close and be forced to abandon the attempt.
Any insights into how to physically access the site, or who to contact for permission to
access, would be MOST welcome. Thanks!
