GADDY/WYKOFF & CAVE/DIXON CEMETERIES
"OLD PARIS" JENNINGS COUNTY, INDIANA
Most of the work transcribing these cemeteries was done in the 1940's by Marie "Billie" McGannon of "Old Paris".

Both of the Paris Cemeteries have been sold to Private owners in the last few years. The smaller Gaddy/Wykoff Cemetery is in good shape and the Shorts' who purchased it have given it back to Jennings County. They are working hard to take good care of it as Trustees. For a number of years the larger cemetery known as the Cave/Dixon Cemetery has been slipping into oblivian.
Jonathan Lopnow's excellent Jennings County site has a good PDF listing of these Cemeteries also.
My notes are in this color purple
I want to
Thank Tim Beckman of the -Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War-for
verifying and correcting some of the original information about
Civil War Veterans buried here!
