I think my biggest problem is finding out when it stopped being used as a
Cemetery and all care stopped, I plan going to Vernon and trying to track when
it became private property and trace ownership from the 1820's to now. Here
is a link to a page on the Jennings County site with some information and a
transcription. The newest owners planted a corn field last year that blocked
any view of it from the road.

FINDING A CEMETERY LIST;
Start with all the libraries in your county. Or find out who the genealogy
historian is if it is a small town. Actually it was the local Paris historian
who asked for my help.
Try to find a list for the whole township. The name for cemetery can change
a
bunch with times.
