Gibson County
Barton Township Cemeteries:
1. Albright - This is Townsley/Bell/Albright Cemetery. If you read the sign in the first photo it gives some good info about how two of the three names of the cemetery came about.
2. Bell - See Albright.
3. Eden - It is next to a huge mining area. In the photos you can see a huge crane, Big Kate, doing its thing.
4. Killpatrick
5. McCleary - We had to cross through another farmer's bean field to reach this one.
6. McGregor - Only 3 headstones.
7. Micklar
8. Morris - It sits right beside a home. We had to drive up their driveway to get to this one. We suspect that the headstones were moved there or rebuilt and placed there after the original cemetery was destroyed.
9. Morton - Don't let the Morton Cemetery sign fool you. It makes it look like this cemetery is well kept and not very old, but on the contrary. After walking across a large field it was one of the hardest ones to reach as we had to fight through thick head- high weeds and thorns. It was also the night of a super moon. We were about to give up on finding any headstones even though we had seen the sign saying the cemetery was at this location. We found one way back in the corner along a beat down rusted fence. Once we found that one, we began finding others even though most of them were overgrown with weeds. Another great find. Overall, it was a super night.

11. St. Johns - aka Buckskin
12. Somerville
13. Townsley - See Albright.
