Mead Cemetery
Posey Township

Recorded by Wanda Morford in 1980
This cemetery is on Meads Ridge Road, which is four tenths of a mile from State Route 250

foot stones - E.M.M.,  P.F.M.,  E.C.,  M.M., lots of field stones, several stones partially buried and down.  Most of the stones are broken, probably because of the use of a brush hog to clean up the cemetery at one time.  The groundhogs have also done a great deal of damage.
