The old church and an unusual headstone at Mount Olive Cemetery.
This cemetery is located in Section 32, Township 7 North, Range 8 West. The Floyd Homemaker’s Extension Club listed it in 1968. This record was updated by Leroy Blair of the White County Historical Society after he and his wife Ellen visited the cemetery April 4, 2001. Following are his directions: "To reach this cemetery from Floyd, take Highway 305 north about 1 ˝ miles to Peanut Ridge Road. Turn right on Peanut Ridge Road and go about three miles to Mount Olive Road. Turn right on Mount Olive and go about a half-mile to Mount Olive Church Road and turn right. The cemetery is at the end of the road, about a quarter-mile from the old church, which does not appear to be used any more. The cemetery is clean." Blair found 153 graves that were not listed in 1968. He also found 66 graves marked with rocks with no information on them, 16 funeral home markers that were illegible, and eight depressions that he said appeared to be unmarked graves. He was unable to find four graves that were on the 1968 list: Clara Cotton, Henry Radgib, John C. Hollingshead and Emma Morris.
