This little burial plot, abandoned and almost
obliterated, is about 1 mile north of Orleans and a short
distance east of state highway 37. The fence is down, cattle have
grazed over it, the markers have fallen and are so broken that it
is impossible to decipher some of the inscriptions, The land
originally belonged to Robert Campbell, who came
to Orange Co. from Kentucky in 1818, with his second wife and
children. His will, probated May 27,1845, mentions a certain
piece of land, set aside for a burying ground and reference is
made to graves already there. The stones of Robert Campbell and
his wife could not be found. The inscriptions were copied by Miss
Josephine Lindsey, of Mitchell, Indiana.
