Add PhotosThis cemetery was adjacent to a pioneer Baptist Church located in Washington township, Ripley County, in existence as early as 1815. In the 1860's, the church was relocated nearer to the village of Elrod. At that time a new cemetery was established and the earlier burial ground became "Old Washington".
By the 1930's there were only about three dozen visible tombstones, and less than half that number were preserved in photographs taken in the early 2000's.
The cemetery is located in Washington Township (Section 2, Township 7N, Range 12E) about 1250 feet north of E County Road 50 S and about 3500 feet east of S County Road 525 E.
Indiana Cemetery Locations, Volume 2, published by the Indiana Genealogical Society (01 April 2006), gives the primary cemetery name as Old Washington Cemetery.
The Ripley County GIS lists the cemetery as the Old Washington Cemetery on state parcel number 69-14-02-400-014.000-021.
