Also, checked on John a little more: History of Lucas Co. IA, LCHS, p. 100 Under the discussion of Lucas Co. Cemeteries: "The Chariton Cemetery makes no distinction between races, color, religion or stations in life. The same courtesy is given to all. Among the interesting bits of Indian lore is the burial of John Rinehart [sic]. Considerable legend has been attached to the peculiar type [no image shown] of monument that stands at the head [as of 1978] of his grave just within the gates at the cemetery. In the pioneer days of Lucas County, even before our county was organized, a band of Indians, probably Sacs, had their home in this part of Iowa and John Rinehart was one of the chieftans. When he died, his tribe brought his remains to Chariton. He is buried just south of the main gate. Years ago, the tombstone on Rinehart's grave had swung to the right. The Local Order of Improved Red Men took the monument down, renewed it and re-erected it and also fixed the area around the grave." // Happy Trails to You, Mary Beth in Wisconsin ==== IALUCAS Mailing List ==== David, railrider503@aol.com: Lucas County List Administrator, Website Coordinator, Lucas County IA Genweb - http://www.rootsweb com/~ialucas/Main.htm
