This Large Old Cemetery is about 200 rods, or five-eighths of a mile, Northwest of the Incorporated town of Walton, Indiana, and is at the south edge of the N.W. ¼ of section 25 of T.26 N., R.2 E.
It is on the North Side of a one-mile-long County-Highway which runs East and West along said section 25’s midline, and is about eight or nine Miles Southeast of the County Seat City of Logansport. This Old Vennard Cemetery is about 12 rods East of the [More Modern] Walton Oddfellows [I.O.O.F.] cemetery, and is about midway between it and the Heavily Traveled U.S. Highway 35, A [Here New] paved road which runs from Logansport Southeast to Kokomo, Indiana, by way of Anoka, Walton, Lincoln, and Galveston and, in the Main, follows the Long Abandoned Route formerly taken by the tracks of the [Now almost forgotten] Indiana Union Traction Company’s Electric “Interurban” Line.
