Charlestown, the cemetery remains
well-maintained and is the final resting
place of many of the early pioneers,
including Daily descendants and the first
governor of Indiana, Jonathan Jennings. Thanks to

following Boyer headstones in 2007, and
special thanks to Mike Hensley who has
contributed his photographs and videos of
Charlestown Cemetery to this site over
the years.
