In my message of May 7, 2003 I gave directions to Salem Cemetery that were
close, but not quite accurate. I have since visited the cemetery and can now
state with better authority where it is located.
Salem Cemetery is on Salem Ridge Road in northeast Ohio County.
1. From Rising Sun, take 5th Street west from Highway 56. That turns into
Salem Road. The cemetery is on the left, behind the red brick "church" (the
appearance is of a one-room schoolhouse) just past where Thuermer T's in from
the right. The distance from Highway 56 is approximately 4 miles.
2. Coming south on Highway 56 from Aurora, turn right on Thuermer.
Thurermer is about 1.3 miles south of Laughery Creek. Turn right on Salem Ridge at
the T. The red church is immediately on the left.
As of 5/31/03 the cemetery is mowed and in good repair.
The Ohio County Indiana 2003 Map is an excellent way not to get lost. It is
available at the Ohio County Historical Society 212 S. Walnut (Hwy. 56),
Rising Sun, 812 438-4915 or
