Made available to The USGenWeb Archives by: Cindy & Mike Kay The Whitewater Township Cemetery is located on a small rise at the junction of Hwy 74 & Cty Rd 21 in Whitewater Township. There is no direct access road. Park in the small clearing at the bottom of the hill and hike up the rise about 1/4 mile. It is a very old cemetery. As such many of the stones are broken, surrounded by overgrown bushes, and weathered beyond readability. Transcription done October 17, 1999 by Cindy & Mike Kay.
