Bailly Cemetery, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
Facts and practical information
Bailly Cemetery is a cemetery located at Indiana Dunes National Park in Porter, Indiana, USA. The cemetery is three-quarters of a mile north of the Joseph Bailly Homestead on the edge of a sand ridge. The first recorded burial was Robert, the son of Joseph Bailly, in about 1827. Subsequently, the site has been considered a family graveyard. Burials of those outside the Bailly family are numerous. Today, they are all unmarked, including Swedish residents of the area. Outside the cemetery platform to the north there are eight recorded tombstones, four of which are older than 1827: Isaac Schellinger, 1811; Peter Carlbon, 1814; Rhoda Schellinger, 1816; and Thomas B. Speer, 1817. ()
