Subject: [INALLEN-L] Dutch Ridge Cemetery

I have read with great interest the correspondence on Dutch Ridge. I
believe that in the early 1960s, I lived in the house of which you speak.
It was a remodeled, 2-story farmhouse on the west side of Old Auburn Road,
just south of Chapman Road. It was owned by a family named Jordan, and had
been previously owned by a family named Parrot. From my second floor
apartment window, I could see the Church and school and cemetery. If I
remember correctly, the school had already been converted to living
quarters, but the church was empty, and the cemetery in not too good of
condition. There was quite a bit of acreage with the house, and before I
moved away, they had dug a lake some distance behind the house, and had
plans to sub-divide and sell houses there. If the house on the east side of
Auburn road had slave tunnels, I never heard about it. I don't believe
there was a river directly behind it, but there was a creek. It has been
many years since I have been in the area (I now live in Las Vegas) but it
was without a doubt one of the most beautiful areas in all of Indiana,
especially in the fall. Wish I could give you more history. Diane
