Dry Stone Fence, Hamer Cemetery, Spring Mill State Park, Mitchell, Indiana
The Hamer Cemetery represents the customs and beliefs of 1800s frontier Hoosiers. It began out of immediate need when a traveler died in the night near this location. Mill owner Hugh Hamer instructed his carpenters to build a coffin and bury the man in the woods. He later deeded the area including the grave to serve as a cemetery.
