Founded on August 5th, 1830. Benjamin & Mary Jane Kittle Lamar gave the land for the Bethlehem Church to be built on as well as the new Bethlehem Cemetery. The church to this day does not stand. The cemetery is located off of State Road 70 out in a cow pasture. The owner of the land is Winfred Thomas. Winfred said he recall's when he first bought the land the Cemetery was "chalk full" of gravestones. Now these days there's maybe 50. He said he doesn't know if someone keeps taking them one by one or the person that mows throws them away. If you wish to visit this cemetery please remember it is private. You can contact the Spencer County Historical Society for contact information or the County Library.



The cemetery is located in Hammond Township (Section 10 Township 6S Range 5W) about 500 feet north of County Road 800 N (Indiana State Highway 70) about 700 feet east of its intersection with N County Road 550 E.



Indiana Cemetery Locations, Volume 2, published by the Indiana Genealogical Society (01 April 2006), gives the primary cemetery name as Bethlehem Cemetery with alternate names of Kramer Cemetery, Sibrel Cemetery, Woodburn Cemetery, and Woodward Cemetery.

The cemetery is listed in the Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and in the State Historical Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) with Cemetery Record Number CR-74-41 (Bethlehem Baptist / Woodchurch).
