    Valley View Cemetery is located between Bridgeport and Decatur. From Hwy 380 turn north on CR 1110, and then to the right, or east, on CR 1111. The cemetery gate is a short distance on the top of a hill on the right, or south, side of the road. It’s a double pipe gate that was tied shut with wire.
    The 18 headstones were just inside the gate, straight ahead, but they were behind some woods and were not visible from the road when we were there in October of 2000.

  

  

    In 2009 this cemetery had been cleared of all brush. It is now much easier to see the gate from the road. Below are some pictures taken in 2009. The sign at the gate says 'Former Site of Valley View School'. No new headstones were found in 2009.
