MANNAN CEMETERY

HARRISON TOWNSHIP

OWEN COUNTY IN

Although it goes by the same name, it is readily viewable that this section of the Mannan Cemetery is definitely not under the same caretakers as the one that sits across the road in Morgan county.

This cemetery used to be under the care of a group of 6 trustees and through deaths, it came down to one of them. It is now in the hands of the Harrison township trustees office.

Mind you, I didn't say under the "care" of.... only in the hands of.

The grass is about 7-8 inches tall and many of the stones are leaning badly and the whole place has a rather deserted appearance to the passerby. This greatly saddens me as I have many family members buried here.

My main surname interests in this section of Mannan are:

McCULLOUGH, LOCKHART, SECREST, CARTER, TRUAX, MURPHY
