There is another similar old small cemetery in the median of highway 31 on
the north side of Columbus, IN...perhaps known as the Llowell cemetery since
its where Llowell road crosses 31 (which is also four lanes at that point)?
I don't know that it gets much real attention other than when the highway
crews mow the median?
There's a single grave in the center of a county road at the south edge of
Johnson County...the 2 lane road splits and goes around it. Apparently
other graves from a cemetery there were moved but that one grave was not?
Its often grown up in tall grass/weeds.
There is a cemetery in Fort Wayne that is in the median of four lanes
of
highway.
The road just curves around it. I don't live there so don't know much more
about
it.

If we cannot respect the dead, how can we respect the living?
