Located in Washington township, section 25, Owen County, Indiana on land once owned by Richard Hight. The address is 3960 East State Highway 46. The land is now private property owned by the Bean Blossom-Patricksburg Water Corporation. Please ask permission to enter cemetery. This was once the beginning of Chambersville cemetery with the earliest known burial being in 1828. Around 1888 it was stopped being used as a better location was found. This cemetery was named Chambers and Layman Cemetery while the new cemetery was named Chambersville. Now, it is refferred to Chambers of Layman Cemetery.
