Shirley Cemetery

Located in Vermilliion County, Indiana, southwest of Clinton. Now it is in the midst of the Peabody Coal Company, but it was donated for a family plot by George Shirley and Anna Julian. George having 3 deeds and Anna 1 deed. For years only family was buried there, but now it is for public use. The land was donated in the early 1900's.
This information was obtained from an old book kept of the cemetery records.  These are all the names listed, but there have also been more added. Mr. Ezra Curry, 341 N. Main Street, Clinton, IN 47842 had the book in his possession in 1986.
-- Submitted by David Purdy - his connections are to the Shirley & Clem families. This is copied as we found it in the original log book
