GUM CREEK CEMETERY
aka KING-STRICKLAND-WALKER CEMETERY aka OAK RIDGE CEMETERY Located on lands owned by A. E. Nienow, on
Parcel #35-10-24-0000-0040-0000. This cemetery lies within a fenced area
adjoining This is one of For many years this little cemetery was unfenced and completely
abandoned. Access was from the town
of When the cemetery was first surveyed by Putnam County Genealogical
Society volunteers on April 21, 1983, it was still unfenced and
abandoned. At that time there were 26
marked burial sites, two identifiable sites with no markers, and, according
to some descendants of those buried there, possibly ten to fifteen
additional burial sites in the old section that have completely disappeared
from view. The last known physical
survey was in April of 1995. In the 1970s and later years, a new community has grown up near the
cemetery, and in 1990 it was reactivated by some of the new inhabitants of
the area, under the name of OAK RIDGE CEMETERY. It has now been surveyed and the land
cleared. The new section is
approximately three times the size of, and now encloses, the old section, i.
e. GUM CREEK CEMETERY. It is a
beautiful cemetery, now with grass growing, and is enclosed by a new
chain-link fence. RODMAN
