Natalie, I located some of my photos from the Central State property. I do have images of at least one side of the memorial wall that are legible and I'll be glad to send them along to you if you like. Also, my recollection of the grave markers themselves was off a bit. These are small rectangular concrete markers buried flush with the red numbered tag affixed. I found a photo of one of these as well. I believe there were a few stone markers just north of this area that seemed to be related to this cemetery, but there weren't many. Let me know off list if you'd like me to e-mail the photos.

A friend of mine had a relative that died at the Central State Hospital in Indianapols, IN in 1868. My friend has the actual written record of this from the hospital administrator. The record goes on to say he was buried on the grounds. I have a history of the hospital but the cemetery was not mentioned. Does anyone know if the cemetery still exists? Are there tombstones? Is there a list of those buried there and where would it be?
