The McClellan Township Cemetery (AKA: Skinner) is located in Newton County, Indiana, on the east side of the Old Chicago Rd, a diagonal road that now leads back into the property of Willow Slough, about 2/10ths of a mile north of CR 100 N. There is a faint trail through the woods leading to the cemetery.

When Oakland Cemetery at Morocco was founded, many started using it instead, even moving some of the here interred to that burial ground.
