This is one of the "lost" cemeteries in Lawrence Township.  The following information came from GSMC member Ron Darrah who posted the information on his web blog in October 2012:

 

     "A while back Elizabeth Hague and I were visiting the Castleton UM Church to survey their church records depository (an old safe in the cellar!). After our survey we were visiting in the hallway, discussing local history and genealogy.

     A gentleman just lingering in the area heard our discussion and volunteered the information that he had an old cemetery on his property that few people knew about. He was right about that--we didn’t--and further investigation revealed no one else seemed to either.

     The gentleman, Willis Landon, offered to search for a hand-written note that he had at home. He finally found it and transcribed the information. The note was from Margaret Adams of 777 Dean Road in Indianapolis, who is a descendant of the Wadsworth family. Margaret is a lifelong resident of the Castleton area and a member of the Castleton UM Church."

 

                       (See the three documents to the right for further information.)

 

     Note: The properties shown on the map (bottom right column) are just north of Fall Creek and north of the Old Silvey Cemetery, which still exists.

     The Wadsworth Cemetery is not listed on the 1939 WPA Veterans Cemetery Survey, probably due to a lack of a military burial. The Indiana State Library also contains no information on this graveyard.
