Calamus Pond Cemetery
May 28th, 2007 by Deviner
The Calamus Pond Cemetery is located less than a mile from the Eastern Shawnee tribal grounds and is actually on land that was part of the Eastern Shawnee allotments. In particular, the cemetery is close to land that belonged to my great-great grandmother, Cora Jackson Hampton (wife of Corn Hampton), and members of my family from three generations are buried there. Unfortunately, the cemetery is not in good shape, but we will hopefully be able to take care of it and make some improvements. See the pictures from our visit in September 2004.
