Hammock / Miller Cemetery - Jackson Township

 

 

This cemetery is located in Section 30 of Jackson Township on land Martin Hammock purchased in 1838

Martin's daughter Matilda Hammock and her husband Isaac Miller purchased the property from the other surviving family members in 1864.  Today the cemetery is located just off of US 59 with only 5 stones visible - and only two of those are marked.
