I put together this site for all the wonderful people I have met, in person and through email contact who have family in what is left of this cemetery. To also preserve the last trace of the lives of these people who are buried here.

The cemetery is 1/2 mile East of the town Bradford
about 1 mile from the Floyd County Line. The cemetery sits to the left of the Bradford/Greenville Rd. just across the creek in the woods. It has been almost destroyed by vandals and continues to be vandalized today.

Deed Book F. pg. 544 is an Indenture written July 18, 1831 between John HUFFSTETTER and wife Nancy to George SEARS, Simon GROVE and John ROBERTS, Trustees for the Bethel Meeting House and burying ground for the purpose of Meeting House and burying ground for the use and benefit of The Church of Christ called German Baptist or Dunkards, one acre and a half more or less.
Recorded July 19, 1831, Harrison County, IN.

"DEAR ANCESTOR" author unknown

Dear Ancestor

Your tombstone stands among the rest
Neglected and Alone
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marble stone.

It reaches out to all who care
It is to late to mourn
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.

Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor

The place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.

I wonder as you lived and loved
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot
And come to visit you.
