They cleaned up the Cemetery and all I found were remnants of the box--I'll plant another soon, as soon as they are done with the rubbish disposal.
Heaton Cemetery is in Noble Township, Rush County. It is a civil war era resting place with markers dating from the late 1850s. First I must apologize to the deceased since the stamp says “Heaton” which after our planting excursion today we found out is wrong. The official name of the cemetery is Heaton, but the most prominant grave says "Heton."
Directions are from Glenwood which is on SR 44 between Rushville and Connersville. Turn south on County Line Road at the blinker light (between Rush and Fayette Counties) and watch out for the little jog just south of Glenwood. Continue going south past Orange North Cemetery (where all the flowers have gone), past the town of Orange which will be on the east, and after driving over a little rise, there will be a T-road to the west (this is Rush County Road 250 S.) Turn west and go a little over 1 mile. At one mile is a fence row and just past it is the cemetery.
This is a narrow country road with very little traffic. It is perfectly logical to park near the cemetery so that one vehicle, if one should happen to come along, can get past. During harvest and planting season it is a different story as a tractor or a combine may necessitate moving. You will never be out of site of your vehicle. Even if you weren’t a Letterboxer, this would be a place of interest due to the history of the site.
The Letterbox is in the southeast corner of the graveyard near the edge by the cultivated field. There is a clump of smallish trees all growing together with hollow old trunks and suckers coming out of them. You will find what you seek in a hollow trunk that is wrapped with old fencing about 5 paces from the east edge on the cemetery side of the group. The box is covered by two smaller pieces of wood. This was planted in early spring, so when the vegetation begins greening up it may not be so easy to find.
Please careful to replace the box and cover it with the wood. No one visits this cemetery, except the person who is working hard trying to clean it up a bit. It is better now that it has been in the last 30 or 40 years.
