I live in Acton, Indiana, area - we have an area historical society - Franklin Township Historical Society - (317)862-6371 - they have several publications about our area, cemeteries, schools, etc., and the people that run it are very knowledgeable. Their web site is _www.fths.org_ (http://www.fths.org) . They may be able to help with your Yarber/Howard side. good luck! Julie
