Gott Cemetery
(aka Spencer Cemetery)
Located by Whiskey Run Creek, at Milltown, in the southwest quarter of section 10, Township 2 South, Range 2 East, in Whiskey Run Township, Crawford County, Indiana.

A great deal of information about Gott Cemetery, including a copy of the 1891 deed record, has been primarily researched, and graciously donated, by Tricia Eurton.  She is dedicated to researching and preserving the history of this small cemetery where several Crawford County pioneers rest, and is spearheading grassroots efforts to restore and maintain the cemetery grounds.

Though there are several names included, this list is not expected to be complete.  There are several unmarked graves and some which may be unreadable.  If you have found a resource which identifies others who are interred at this cemetery, please contact Ann Mensch.
