Peppertown, Indiana

In 1986, Helen Moore prepared a report on the three Peppertown cemeteries: the Old Public Cemetery, the German Lutheran Church Cemetery and the New Cemetery. Helen was a member of the Indiana State Board of the Indiana German Heritage Society. Her relatives came directly to Peppertown from Germany in 1849, and she has relatives buried in the Old Public Cemetery. These listings are based on her report and were originally posted on Larry Christensen's website on AOL. Because AOL closed their home pages service in 2008, we have reproduced as much of the listings as we could reconstruct. Contains only graves having headstones with names.
