Lancaster CemeterySection 34, Township 5 North, Range 9 EastLancaster Township, Jefferson County, IN.
Cemetery is located on the north side of S.R. 250,
Thanks to Bob Scott for pointing out Dee Pavey's very helpful web site pertaining to the records from the Dodd Funeral Home. See: Pavey, Dee Comp.. "Dodd Funeral Home Records, Paris Crossing." Jennings County, INGenWeb. Jun 2003. http://www.jolts.com/jennings/death/dodd.html. Just a bit of a warning in the Dodd records... sometimes where Lancaster is listed under the Cemetery column, it is actually referring to College Hill Cemetery, in Lancaster, rather than Lancaster Cemetery.
