Located on the property that was once the County Poor Farm, along the south fence line/hedge row, which are now the Veath and Schenk properties.
Intersection of CR 4550 & 3850.

Was then Liberty Township. Is now rural Independence.

Cemetery is completely unmarked, unmaintained and only found by this contributor with the help of a long time resident in the area. Compiling an informational book on the Poor Farm now, which will be avilable in the Independence Public Library.

Update 11/13/2011: Cemetery found today, now that the brush is low and with a property owner this time. In process of negotiating the clearing, fencing, signage and upkeep of the site. Stones are visible, but unmarked. Thirty-one stones found and photographed.
