Elizabethtown is a tiny berg with a little over 500 residents near Columbus, Indiana. The Springer Cemetery is about a mile and a half from town. The first burial was of George Springer in 1857.

Springer Cemetery is filled with Civil War vets among the other civilians resting here in this small country cemetery. The chapel lends a feeling of spiritual calm and memory of those resting here.

The chapel is cute, and some of the people lived very short lives, God bless them. Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🏻❤️

You’re most welcome, John. Life spans were certainly short back in the 1800’s.
