Apostolic
Christian Cemetery
Location: County roads 200 S and 800 E in Harrison Township, Wells County, Indiana.
The original introduction states “ The ground for the Apostolic Christian Church and Cemetery was purchased from Benadict and Anna Baumgartner in 1870. The first person to be buried here was John Meyer, Jr. in 1879. Many names from older records were added to this history. A new section to this cemetery lies across the road but is located in Adams County, French Township. This data was submitted by Mr. and Mrs. John Baumgartner, members of the Wells County Historical Society.”
There are several people listed in this cemetery with death dates before 1879: John Frauhiger 1865, Joseph Gehring 1867, Trena Kipfer 1855…
