Gerrick-Ditney Cemetery
Submitted by Samantha Miley
Location: On New Harmony road between Trautvetter and Zoar roads. I did not put this cemetery in alphabetical order since there were so many broken stones and stones with just first names.

From I-164 exit 15, go east on New Harmony Road. Turn left on Zoar Church Road. Turn left on Boonville New Harmony Road, a gravel road that becomes Gander Road. Go past the saw mill activity. Turn right and go up a hill on a short dead end road. Park in the turn around and walk a few feet up the hill. If you get to Saint John’s Road, you went too far. Latitude 38.1118 Longitude -87.4514 Thanks, George Macke for the directions!
