Abandoned cemetery located at 3538 W. Honey Tree Court, Deer Creek Subdivision.

The Waisner-Rickard Cemetery shows up on a deed dated March 1, 1899, for a 10-acre property in Deer Creek Township, Miami County, Indiana.

The 1877 atlas of Howard County shows the Rickard family owned land just south of the Howard County line, just south of where the cemetery lay.

And the old Kokomo and Deer Creek Pike shows up on the 1877 atlas, and longtime Deer Creek subdivision residents remember where the "old road" ran — just past where they say the cemetery lay.



The cemetery is listed in the Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and in the State Historical Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) with Cemetery Record Number CR-52-30 (Waisner-Rickard / Deer Creek / McIlwain).

Indiana Cemetery Locations, Volume 2, published by the Indiana Genealogical Society (01 April 2006), gives the primary cemetery name as Waisner Cemetery with alternate names of Deer Creek Cemetery and McIlwain Cemetery.
