The Providence Cemetery was established in 1855. This historic, smal and rural cemetery was added to the Indiana Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry of the Department of Natural Resources. Sadly, it appears that this cemetery has been heavily vandalized over the years and I was dismayed to see the pile of headstones between the two trees. Looking back several years from images that I have come across, the stones have been piled for quite some time.
The cemetery is to the west of the Providence Primitive Baptist Church. The Providence Primitive Baptist Church was organized Oct. 5, 1850, in Elkhart County with five members. In 1852 a parcel of land was purchased from Sam Hoover and a church building was erected in 1852. The building that is here today is likely not the original building though I wasn't able to find any information about when this bulding was built.
The Primitive Baptist denomination traces its origins in America to the early colonies. They came from England and many of them ended up settling in the Southern states where several of their churches still exist.
The first to find will get a shout out here, in the description, as the container that you seek is too small for swag.
On that note, BYOP.
No night caching.
CONGRATS to MaxB on the River for being First To Find! 🥳
