Hell's Half Acre Cemetery

This abandoned cemetery is located north of State Rd. 205 on Wolfe Rd. in Columbia City.  I hope to get permission this spring to see if there are any stones left to get pictures of. In the book "The 1907 History of Whitley Co.", pages 193-197,  is a very colorful article about the origin of this unique cemetery name.
