The Oak Ridge Cemetery, dating from 1871, is located on the east edge of the town off the left side of State Road 120, through an iron arch with the name set out in lettering across the top.� It leads down a narrow blacktop road into a deep hollow edged between the railroad tracks and the Little Elkhart River.� |
| In the center divider of the road into the cemetery is located the War World II memorial to several of Bristol's servicemen. |  |

The old stones have a soft aged look which adds to the surreal feeling that you are in another time, another place. |
| Many famous names linked to the founding of Bristol can be found here, including that of the Probasco family. |  |
| Whole families are buried here, some of whom died the same year, indicating some long-ago� tragic illness or accident. |  |
 |
This is one of the larger rural cemeteries and contains both very old and very new graves. |
| � In some families, like the Sangers, those who lived in the town of Bristol were buried here, while those who lived on the nearby farms tended to buried in the more rural cemeteries, like Bonneyville Cemetery. |

Also located here are the graves of other familiar Bristol area names, like the Judson's - known for their connection to the Fruit Hills. |
