The following excerpt is from History of the Ohio Falls Counties, published 1882:

"The old Walker graveyard, which is now on Colonel Martin Adam's place {see Adams Family Cemetery page [Jeffersonville Twp.] for more information on the Adam family in Clark Co.}, was used as early as 1814. It was then surrounded by the woods, having been located in the midst of a strong growth of beech timber. The location was probably determined by the death of Mary Polly Adams, who was the first person buried within its present limits. William Pervine and his daughter were the next who were laid to rest under the shady beech and oak. This old graveyard is now but little used. Its like is seldom met in the history of Clark county."
