Virginia,
There are eight cemeteries in Marion Twp that were read by the SCGS in the
1990s. They are:
Blue River Chapel, sec 2, farthest east, active church
Gaines, sec 23, southeast corner
Liberty, sec 33, farthest north, Liberty MP church, active, 1827, largest in
twp
Ludlow, sec 17, south central, west of river, completely washed away, no
records
Marion, sec 9, dead center, 1833
Morris, sec 23, southeast corner, 1864, about 25 graves, cornfield by my
house!
Oldham, sec 5, north, west of river, six known burials
Wilson, sec 16, center, probably flooded, no record of burials
The best map is one Barb gave me when we started the website (hard to
believe it was years ago, now):

The sec#'s listed next to the cemetery name can easily be seen on Barb's
map.
Let me know the names of your ancestors and I will check the readings. Do
you mind if I put a link to your work?

Subject: [INSHELBY] Marion Cemetery
I'm adding burials on findagrave, and one of my family is buried
at Marion
Cem, Marion twp, Shelby Co. The only cemetery that is listed there on
findagrave, is Marion Cemetery, Shelbyville. Is this the same cemetery as
the one at the town of Marion?
Don't forget to check out our genealogy web site.
