ESPY CEMETERY BURIALSJeffersonville Township, Clark County, Indiana
This cemetery is located inside Vissing Park off Highway 62 in
Jeffersonville, Indiana. The park is located just east of Allison Lane and
is entered from Highway 62, near Jefferson Hospital. There is a walking path (Just to the left as you enter the parking lot)
leading from near the shelter house through a deeply wooded area and circles
back to the other side of the parking lot.
At the apex of this circular path, on the outside, between the path and a
cultivated field, is Espy Cemetery, restored in 1996 by a local Eagle Scout,
working in conjunction with the Jeffersonville Township Trustee, who
provided the materials to restore the cemetery. Click here for rough map of
Vissing Park and
A lovely stone fence has been constructed around the cemetery. Though only
three stones were visible when the Scout's work began, there are now at
least five legible stones found there. Some of the original stones were
broken and those pieces have now been set in cement in slabs on the ground,
where they will be much more difficult to break. The following stones were
found there in 1997:
