Miami County Indiana Old Miami Cemetery This medium-sized cemetery was well-hidden from view of the road by a cornfield on the south side when we visited in August 1997. The other sides surrounding the cemetery were wooded. With detailed directions given to us by Helen Dye McCauley (whose ancestors include Dyes, Hartgroves, and Carnines) we were able to find the Old Miami Cemetery with ease. Directions: Go east on 1050S from Miami, Indiana to the T in the road, turn right, then the road turns to the east (left). On the north side of the road about the second field there is a lane along the west side of the field. There are two concrete pillars on either side of the lane. When you get to the end of the field, the lane turns east toward the cemetery. There are no signs marking this cemetery either at the cemetery sight or from the road. Helen gave me the name of this cemetery. It was listed as "no name cemetery" in a listing of Miami County Cemeteries I got at the Miami County Museum. Helen's grandmother called it the "Old Miami Cemetery. If you visit in summer or fall, be sure to bring insect repellant. I had anticipated a tiny cemetery, but would guess there may be 300 or so burials there, although many are not marked by a stone. We started at the southeast corner of the cemetery. There are many wide gaps in rows and sunken areas that are surely graves which are unmarked by stones. We started each "row" on the south end. Rows are not straight at all, so there may be some disagreement on what constitutes a row. The survey of the cemetery was completed Aug. 23, 1997 and data uploaded Aug. 26. I am hoping to get more information on the unmarked graves. Written in italics are a few burials I got from a list done by Jack Pearcy in 1992. Come back soon!
