About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Shelton/Merritt Cemetery is a small family plot located on what had once been the property of Nathaniel Merritt (1779-1862). This cemetery is located south of Poseyville on the corner of High School Road and Highway 165, in county section # 30. This cemetery is located on private property which is owned by Robert and Mary Beth Gentil (as of Summer of 2011). We have posted the known grave sites in this cemetery, but the burial records indicate that there are other tombstones in this cemetery which are illegible.

Indiana Cemetery Locations, Volume 4, published by the Indiana Genealogical Society (April 2009), gives the primary cemetery name as Merit Cemetery with alternate names of Merritt Cemetery and Doll Cemetery.

The cemetery is listed in the Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and in the State Historical Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) with Cemetery Record Number CR-65-94 (Merritt).

The Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory (IHSSI) survey number for Merritt Cemetery is 129-522-05025 with the dataset compiled in 2002.
