There is a pile of broken stones to the left of the collapsed stone crypt, near the stone fence.

The JOHN BOTTORFF CEMETERY was located on John Bottorff's horse farm, one and 1/2 mile southwest of Charlestown, on what is now High Jackson Road.  Click here for a topographical map of this site, courtesy of www.TopoZone.com.

The Charlestown Township Trustee reported on May 30, 1997 that this property is meticulously maintained by the current property owner; however, when we visited on April 1, 2000, we found many broken stones, many apparently missing altogether and the roof of the block crypt collapsed.  The property is kept mowed and is surrounded by a chain link fence.

John Mann, age about 50, half-brother of William Mann, died 02/25/1903, and was buried at the 
John Bottorff Cemetery, according to a 1903 newspaper clipping found with this index, 
presumably from the local "National Democrat", a Jeffersonville newspaper of the day.

I have no further information on this cemetery. This index was obtained from the Jeffersonville Township Public Library, 211 East Court Avenue, Jeffersonville, Indiana 47130, telephone: (812) 285-5635.
