Henry County Genealogical Services
From Spiceland Township, Henry County, Indiana Cemetery Inscriptions
1824-1981
By Richard P. Ratcliff
Transposed by Donna J. Tauber
The Dunreith Cemetery is located adjacent to the Penn-Central Railroad tracks and US 40 (Old National Road) on the southwest edge of the town of Dunreith on section 32 of Spiceland Township, Henry County.
The town was originally known as Crums Spring, then as Coffin Station. The name was changed to Dunreith in 1866 in honor of Emory Dunreith Coffin (1824-1863), a pioneer merchant of the community.
The Cemetery is immediately north of a grove of trees where the old Buck Creek Christian Church once stood. The church was founded in 1838 and occupied the site until the present church (renamed Dunreith Church) was erected in 1909.
Many of the individuals buried in the Dunreith Cemetery were members of the old Buck Creek Church. The Friends also had a meetinghouse in Dunreith from 1867 until 1932 and no doubt several members of the old meeting are buried in the Cemetery.
Since Dunreith is located along the National Road, a number of burials are of non-local origin. The first burial took place in 1834 and the last marked burial in 1939. However, the unmarked burials since that time are included in this listing, the last taking place about 1962. The cemetery is now in fairly good as it is maintained by the town. Some stones were damaged January 1, 1968, at the time of the costly train wreak, explosion and fire in Dunreith. A total of 172 burials were recorded in the Dunreith Cemetery, 80 of which died before reached the age of 28.
Joseph W. Abrams, Pendleton Bullen, J.A. Crickmore, Thomas J. Johnson, Dallas Lawson, and C.H.G. Moore, all veterans of the Civil War, are buried in the Cemetery.
These inscriptions were recorded in 1966 by R. Thomas Mayhill with additions made by Richard P. Ratcliff in 1974. I would like to thank Ralph Hollander and Howard Glide well, both of Dunreith, and Elza Sorrell of Spiceland for their help in verifying names and dates.

This information has been wonderfully recorded and preserved thanks to the above persons. I have tried to portray this information in a format for others to research, therefore not going by the actual cemetery inscriptions, which doesnt always
give enough information, and calculating an approximate date for birth and death with the information that is given.
