Midwest Legend Hunters

A lonely cemetery and an abandoned church sit on a hill overlooking US 32. Jasper Methodist Church and Cemetery has a history. The burial site of a Union martyr. During the Civil War, Confederate General Morgan and his raiders crossed the Ohio River. After crossing, Morgan tried to force a Union Prisoner into acting as a guide. Joseph McDougal refused, and the Confederate soldiers tied him up and set him adrift in a small boat, shooting at him until he was killed.

These photos were taken this past fall. Having driven past it several times, with the sun bleached trees standing out I finally stopped on the way back from a family trip.

A short video is in the works from this trip as well. In the meantime, enjoy the the photos, and let us know if anyone else has been by or to this quiet hilltop cemetery.
