Mathis Graveyard
Jefferson County, Indiana

Contributed by Jackie Owen, May 2000 [edjackieowen@wmconnect.com]. Total records = 5.

This graveyard used to be located on Scott's Ridge Road east of Canaan, IN. It was located on the old Mathis Farm. To my knowledge only 1 or 2 stones, if that are still there, but they are unreadable. The information that follows is taken from the DAR list of the 1940's.
