The "old" Rueben Sutton Cemetery has only three graves. Rueben and his wife
Eleanor (Lejante Miller) and their son Rueben. It is on a private farm. I have been
there and have photos of the gravestones (somewhere -- I have recently moved and have to
locate all of my genealogy. I have 40 or more boxes but I don't know EXACTLY what is
in them). The land was referred to as the Shornick farm. If you get an old Ripley Co.
Atlas and look at the Washington section, I think you can find the Shornick farm on the
map. From the road, you must go up a fairly steep incline (I remember I was in poor shoes
for the trek - 1975) and it was in the middle of a woods. Today, the woods might be
cleared -- hopefully. One of the stones was leaning against a tree at the time.
Do you live in the neighborhood? If so, some of the older people might know where it is
located if you give them these directions.Good luck. I remember that I had a terrible time
finding it.
Are you related to Rueben?
