Waisner-Rickard Cemetery
Waisner-Rickard Cemetery is a one-acre neglected and abandoned pioneer cemetery located in Deer Creek Township,  Miami, Indiana, United States described as being on the top of a knoll to the south of South Fork Deer Creek. The site is about a quarter of a mile north of the Daniel Rickard Homestead that was just across the Miami County line in Clay Township, Howard County, Indiana. The earliest known burial was Anthony Rickard, the father of Daniel Rickard, who died October 8, 1846. The site was a community burial ground that served residents in southern Deer Creek Township as well as Clay and Howard Townships in nearby Howard County, Indiana to about 1860. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources investigated the cemetery vicinity in 2008-2009 and determined the cemetery was located within a 2.5 acre area that included a modular home that burned in April 2011. Substantial evidence and community lore place the cemetery boundaries partially underneath where the home sat, as it was located on the top of the knoll. Since the home burnt the property has been in an ongoing discussion to try to determine its exact boundaries. Sources
