A June 7, 2019 Facebook post by the
Indiana Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology with the photo on the right, stated During the Rural Cemetery movement, large sites like Crown Hill in Indianapolis or Lindenwood in Fort Wayne had ornate gates and fencing, sometimes made of wrought iron. Smaller cemeteries emulated the movement in various ways, including the use of iron fences (usually around family plots). By the mid-1900s, we started to lose many of these pieces because it made mowing with lawnmowers more difficult. These fences are in the Lake Chapel Cemetery in Allen County, Lake Township.
