Asher Cemetery Location: Asher Cemetery sits about 5 miles north of Gosport IN in Harrison township. There are only about 11 graves total.However the cemetery has been vandalized and many of the graves are old and unreadable. Apparently this is one of two Asher Cemeteries in the Owen county area. This one sits on the land once owned by Allen Asher. The other one is about 1/4 mile off the road and I will get it eventually. This is a complete listing (of the MARKED graves)
