NEAL FARM CEMETERY

The NEAL cemetery is located on the original William NEAL, Jr. farm.
It is located on the road (SR3009) between North Point, Indiana County
and Hamilton, Jefferson County. Cemetery is between the road and
Mahoning Creek. Traveling from North Point to Hamilton cemetery is
on the right approximately 3/8 of a mile after road crosses the railroad.
Cemetery can not be seen from a car.

Cemetery is in a wooded area. An Amish farmer has been cutting the
weeds once a year at the direction of Clara Hetrick<sp>. Clare is a NEAL
descendent. She lives in one of the houses across the road from the
cemetery and about an 1/8 mile from the cemetery toward North Point.

According to C. A. Currie, who was raised in the vicinity, there are more
graves than listed here. Connie Currie states that many headstone were
washed away over the years by flooding from the Mahoning Creek.
