There are three Bear Creek Cemeteries in Jennings County. Bear Creek Baptist Cemetery is in the northern part of the county in Geneva Township, where Jennings, Bartholomew and Decatur Counties join. Another Bear Creek Cemetery is in Sand Creek Township. Yet another Bear Creek Cemetery is in southern Jennings County in Montgomery Township, very near Jefferson County.
