"McAninch-Pike", (Old) Pleasant Hill Cemetery,
Franklin Township, Hendricks County, Indiana
In the early 1830’s, settlers in the Pleasant Hill area
of Section 9, in Franklin Township, Hendricks County,
north-west of present-day Stilesville, Indiana, founded
the Pleasant Hill Methodist Episcopal Church (and cemetery).
There are 19, 20, or 21 people buried there, seven surnames:
Grimes, Hadley, Harlan, King, McAninch, Pike, and Phillips
Known in the 20th century as the (Old) Pleasant Hill Cemetery, the cemetery remained, over one hundred and twenty years old, until it was accidentally destroyed in 1967. Although the cemetery no longer exists, there are four eye-witness accounts, including some photos taken in 1963, before the land was cleared in 1967.
Originally the Pleasant Hill Methodist Episcopal Church cemetery, it has also been known as Pleasant Hill Methodist Church cemetery, the Pike Hill cemetery, and even just Methodist Hill cemetery.
This cemetery was located “in a pasture on a farm belonging to Allen Johnson in Franklin Twp.” [in 1964]. “The old church and cemetery sat in the corner of a section line. The cemetery was in ... Section 9, Twp. 14, Range 2 West”, on the half-acre of land donated to Pleasant Hill M.E. Church by Samuel McAninch in 1849.
