Directions: Green Hill Cemetery - located in Orleans Township Section 30-T2 N-R 1E, near the Lawrence/Orange County line.  This is located in the western section of Orleans, the old town cemetery was laid off when Orleans was founded in 1815, when Orange County was a part of Washington County and Indiana was yet a territory.  There are a number of unmarked graves, and many inscriptions are too worn to decipher.  The first burial was that of a German Settler, Frederick Fesperman, who died in 1816. The cemetery is well kept, under the auspices of the Village Improvement Society.
