BIOGRAPHY: Remote Cemetery , Ripley County Indiana This is a small cemetery located in Ripley County, Indiana in what is called Elrod. The only way I know to get to it is located on private property which I have access to. You have to walk down a field, cross a creek and go up a big hill. There used to be a log cabin here to, but I don't know where. There are Revolutionary War veterans buried here. All tombstones are read from left to right. There are many gravestones of creekrock which are obviously impossible to read, don't even know if there was ever any kind of inscription on them. More are gone or covered over with earth, as there are several sinkholes the proper size for a burial.
