To reach Olive Branch, a Harrison township cemetery; drive south from Winamac, Ind. on US 35 to 400S. At 400S turn east and drive about 3 miles to 450E. Turn north on 450E and drive about 1/2 mile. Notice to the west of 450E is a small grove of trees on a sand knoll. This is the Olive Branch Cemetery. At one time a small church sat at this location. Counties of White & Pulaski, 1883, page 552, menetions this Methodist Episcopal Church. A lane or easement going west across the field from 450E allows access to the cemetery. This cemetery is the responsibility of the Harrison township trustee and is kept mowed. As one can expect, these stones are old and weathered. Nathan H. Murphy deeded the land for the cemetery in 1859, although we found some stones from the 1840's. The stones were read from South to North starting and the south east corner. Many stones are down and I tried to mark their locations as best I could in relation to a row. I did not move any of them. Updated August 31, 2022.
