Description	:	Location: west side of CR 600W, between SR 38 and I-69 Of the ten graves on record at this cemetery, at least seven are those of children. This supports the statistic that the death rate for the young in the 19th century was one out of four and often one out of three. The graves from the 1840s and '50s--one probably from 1837-- indicate that this small burial ground was used by some of the earliest settlers to Green Township.

This supports the statistic that the death rate for the young in the 19th century was one out of four and often one out of three. The graves from the 1840s and '50s--one probably from 1837-- indicate that this small burial ground was used by some of the earliest settlers to Green Township. In the spring of 1969, the Cemetery Conditions Committee, which included Mrs. Harris Coy and Everett Huntzinger, of the Madison County Historical Society recorded the gravestones that were still at this location; otherwise, this cemetery might have been entirely forgotten. From notes made at that time from area residents and descendents, this cemetery might have had occasional burials as late as 1919. On October 29, 2007 there was only one tombstone that could be found, that of Mary E. Smithers d/o Henry & Caroline Smithers. Now located on property of Filbrun family. On July 21, 2008 a friend and I went to this cemetery in hopes of finding more stones. We did unearth two more plus parts of a third stone. This makes a total of 5 stone that we have found so far in this small cemetery. The Madison County Cemetery Commission is now in the works of obtaining this property from the Filbrun family in order to preserve this cemetery. Indiana Cemetery Locations, Volume 1, published by the Indiana Genealogical Society (02 April 2005), gives the primary cemetery name as Smithers Cemetery. 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-48-41 (Smithers).
