Eastin Cemetery
Eastin Cemetery is located in section 5 of Lindley Township in the northwest corner of Mercer County. It is abandoned and not maintained, and is approximately 1/4 mile from the nearest maintained road. It is only accessable via a dirt farm lane. From Princeton, go west four-and-a-half miles to route B. Go north (right) on route B for 13 miles to the first gravel road to the left past Freedom Cemetery. The gravel road is off from a sharp right turn in the blacktop. Go about 1/4 mile south on the gravel road to the first dirt lane to the right (west). Follow this until it ends. The cemetery is located in the trees directly to your left.

Due to its present condition (August 2003), a new survey could not be conducted. The following information is compiled from various sources including old surveys, mortuary records, genealogy files and other sources found at the Mercer County Library in Princeton.

The information was researched and compiled by Phil & Kathi Stewart in August, 2003
