There is a grave near Amity, Indiana that was given a historical marker in 1912. The grave is not of a famous Indianan, but just a regular Hoosier lady who was buried in the wrong spot. Due to unforeseen circumstances her final resting place is now in the middle of the road.

Grave in the Middle of the Road
When Nancy Kerlin Barnett died in 1831, her family had her buried in her favorite place on a small hill near the village of Amity overlooking Sugar Creek. A small cemetery was then formed in the area. When Camp Atterbury near Edinburgh was being formed, several small cemeteries were uprooted and moved – all except for Nancy Barnett, whose son objected. Later a bridge over Sugar Creek was being planned and this time a grandson came to Nancy’s rescue, camping out with his shotgun and refusing to let her be disturbed. So, the county built the road around it and placed a concrete slab on top of the grave. It won’t be moving now, because it was granted a historical marker in 1912.
Don't go movin' my Granny, you hear?
