Short Graveyard

This graveyard is located East of Canaan, Indiana on East Prong Road about 2 miles from Hwy. 62, on the east side of the road way up on Blackhawk Hill, about 1/8 of a mile before you get to the intersection of East Prong & Lonnis Hill Road.

I wouldn't have made it up there, or found it, if it weren't for the property owner taking me up on his 4 wheeler. This was a beautiful spot.

I surveyed this graveyard with the help of George Backus on Nov 01, 2000.
