The Old Providence Cemetery located at the end of Providence Hill Road northwest of Hardinsburg.  Section 28, Town 1 North, Range 2 East.  The land for the M. E. church and cemetery was given by Thomas Sherwood and wife, Elizabeth, in 1844.  Church records state there was not a rainy day while the church was under construction.  One day, near the end of construction, a wild turkey flew over the site and was captured by Thomas Sherwood.  The turkey was prepared by the women folk who gathered for dinner.  Later that day, while eating this fine dinner, members decided the church should be called Providence for the many blessings received while constructing it.  The cemetery was laid out by John Marshall, Valentine Mattox, "Aunt Till" Mattox, Thomas Clements, and William A. Hulgan.  Many graves have no stones and the undertaker's markers have long since faded away.  Excerpt from Cemeteries of Washington County, Indiana.

Our Buchanan line is buried here.  William and Mahulda Austin Buchanan are my maternal 4th great grandparents.  They are buried here without a stone with several of their children.  A cousin and I hope to place a stone on their graves fall of 2005.
