Ripley Co., IN.
From Ripley Co Cemetery Records, compiled by Violet Toph
A Large Cemetery on The Old Ditch Farm
The Old Ditch Farm is about 2 miles east of Westfork church on a branch of Indian Kentucky Creek, about three miles southeast of M------ville, Ind and about 4 miles southwest of Benham, Ind. and not far from the Jefferson county line. There may have been a church here at the time, but nothing definite has been learned as yet. At one time Ditch's settlement was quite a village with a large grist mill known as Ditch's Mill.
