List of interments in Harrison Hill Cemetery
On the Southeast end of the Harrison Hill Cemetery, a small separate cemetery exists.
It was once fenced separately from the Harrison Hill Cemetery with wrought iron fence.
The northeast corner of this cemetery was adjacent to the Harrison Hill Cemetery.
This small cemetery used to be called the Haas Cemetery. It is now just part
of the Harrison Hill Cemetery. There are eight grave stones in this lot. List of interments in Haas Cemetery.
German emmigration to Deaborn County was very high, in fact had the highest population in the state of Indiana. In Dearborn County they settled along North Dearborn Road, beginning at the Ohio-Indiana border and continuing west through New Alsace into Ripley County at Sunman, into Morris, Batesville, Oldenburg, and Huntersville.
