Piel Cemetery (Marion Co, Warren Twp) E. Raymond Street & S. Post Road Indianapolis, IN GSMC Code: WR109 WPA Code: No. 114
SHAARD #CR-49-97.
This small family cemetery is on the south side of Raymond Street about 600 feet east of Post Road. It is fenced in and on private property. In 1941, Thelma Murphy interviewed a Piel descendant who provided some names on the burials. The same year, Mrs. R. Griffin compiled the only known burial list. According to the Murphy interview & the Griffin list, up to 12 persons were said to be buried here, but only two markers remained. (Many of the others reportedly taken by vandals.) As of June 2012, only one illegible marker remained. Believed to be the marker for Frederick Piel who died in 1879, it lays against the fence. The property owner maintains the cemetery.
The following was transcribed by Dave Wright from Griffin's 1941 list.
