Information

Current Cemetery - is located in Stoney Creek Township, Henry County, Indiana. This cemetery, located in section #29 in Stony Creek Township, Henry County, IN on the Walradth farm on the Buck Creek Pike. It was set-aside as a burial ground by James Current who settled here in the 1830s. It has received very little care in the last few years and is completely overgrown with native vegetation and many stones are down due to weathering and the ages of father time.

At one time a Boy Scout group took care of the grounds and kept the weeds mowed, but lately it has been completely forgotten and left to the elements.

In 1995 the Indiana Junior Historical Society undertook a major cleanup of the cemetery, cutting back the trees, brush and weeds. They then recorded all of the burials in the cemetery, finding several stones that were missed in the previous recordings done in the 1973 by Thomas Hamm.
