The cemetery still exists. It was vandalized about two years ago. The kids
were caught and served some jail time over it. It is in the heart of what
used to be called Stringtown. I hope to get money to have a cemetery sign
from IN Historical Bureau put up. I thought the township trustee was taking
care of it but evidently not if it can't be found.

For years, I have visited the cemetery of some of my ancestors. Originally
the land was given by Isaac Newton Blasdel and it was the "Blasdel"
cemetery...but time went on and it became the "Smith Cemetery" 4 miles
north of St.Rd.50 on the "Elrod Road" turn left as the Stringtown Rd.
(think
that is 200N) and cross a little bridge and it is on the right That
is it
WAS there. I am visiting here and I have just spent two hours in the rain
looking for the cemetery.. Is anyone in Ripley Co? Can anyone tell what
happened to it? Buried there: Knapps, Blasdels, Smiths, and many
others --
about 50 or more graves. Surely it isn't gone!!!
Thanks. Marilyn
