Hi Randi... There is a listing on Find A Grave. Lloyd Crouch b. Aug 5-1882 s/o Joseph & Rebecca (Petro) Crouch h/o Mamie A. Belcher Crouch Burial is listed as Rose Hill Cemetery in Bloomington, Monroe County, IN Hope this helps Sharon

I'm looking for death record information for Lloyd Crouch who was born c 1881 to Joseph Crouch and raised in Brown County. Sometimes in the 1890s, his family moved to Monroe County and Lloyd married Mayme Belcher. I have checked Monroe County cemetery records for Lloyd and do not find burial information for him. Any help would be appreciated. It is my hope that he is buried in Brown or at least there is an obit for him. I think he died (or otherwise disappeared) sometime between 1914 and 1920. Randi Richardson

Can this book, that is if you know, be purchased, and if so where? My great grandmother died at Central State in 1889 and I do have her hospital records, stating she was buried "on the grounds" BUT there is no other record there and I have never been able to find anywhere she may be buried. It's been a good 20 years since I have had the file out, but am curious nevertheless. Would love to find her final resting area and get a marker for her. Thank you for any help you might be able to give me.

Flint (MICH) Journal, December 20, 1909, p. 10. DIVORCED AFTER 48 YEARS Mrs. Sabra Percifield Charges Husband with Mistreating Her Nashville, Indiana, December 20-Because her 80-year-old husband, Thomas Percifield, a wealthy Brown County farmer, abused her shamefully at various times during their 48 years of married life and frequently called her "an old snaggle tooth," $2,000 alimony and a divorce were given Mrs. Sabra Percifield in the Brown circuit court after a bitter lawsuit. Mr. and Mrs. Percifield were married March 17, 1861, and they lived together until Nov. 17, 1909. They were sweethearts when children, living only one mile apart, and they attended school together. During their married life, 12 children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Percifield. Among other charges, Mrs. Pecifield contents that her aged husband drew a loaded shotgun on her and threatened to kill her; that on Nov. 10 he struck her with his fist, beat and choked her and that for the last two years she has been in constant fear of her life. The woman alleges she had $4,000 worth of land and by threats to take her life, her husband caused her to execute a deed to her two sons leaving her destitute; that Percifield locked her out of the house and on one occasion made her walk, half clad, to a neighbor's home to stay all night. On another occasion, she says, her husband thought he saw a man in the yard and, grabbing his shotgun, ran around the house and instead of shooting the supposed stranger, he killed the dog. Percifield bitterly contested the case, but his wife won and their married life, which dates from St. Patrick's day nearly half a century ago, has ended.

New Albany (IN) Daily Ledger, April 28, 1856, p. 2. NOTE: The article below was abbreviated as noted by the ellipsis. MOB AT SALEM Salem, Indiana, April 26, 1856- Dear Sir: Our hitherto peaceable town was on yesterday the scene of mob violence and riot. A number of women, headed by a lot of Know-Nothings, made a descent upon the groceries in our town. We are no apologists of doggeries, yet when the law is not attempted to be enforced against them in any shape, we are opposed to mob violence to put down liquor selling. Doggeries are a curse, yet mobs and riots are a greater one. They passed by two groceries after holding a consultation with their keepers, and proceeded to the residence of one Warner Zeik, a German, in a part of whose dwelling liquors were kept and sold. They talked for some time until he was finally seized by force by men and held while his liquors were destroyed, as well as molasses and vinegar and other things. Such a scene our town has never witnessed, and we hope never to see again. After the mob had dispersed, and towards evening, knots of men were seen in earnest conversation until in the end another mob was about to be got up when, by the united exertions of Dr. J. B. Wilson and Horace Heffren, the excitement was for a time allayed. This latter one was for the purpose of retaliating, and strong hints were thrown out that the Flag office (Know-Nothing) was to be destroyed. About eleven o'clock the mob reorganized and proceeded to the Flag office and threw its contents mostly into the street and making pi (sic) of the type and breaking up near the entire furniture of the office. A shoe shop belonging to one of the leaders of the first mob was literally riddled, and several others damaged materially. The whole people are in a state of excitement, and the Know-Nothings are now threatening the demolition of the Democrat office, Dunham & Heffren's law office, and G. R. Harris's Daguerrean room, all situated in the same building. Preparations are now being made to defend them to the last extremity, and each of the above individuals are resolved that only over their dead bodies shall violence be done to the offices. What scenes may be enacted, I cannot tell; how many lives lost, none know. Yet if the Know-Nothings strike a single blow today, the result none can tell. Men are now coming in from the country, resolved to maintain the Democrat office at all hazards. N. B. Since writing the above, the Democratic editor has thrashed the K. N. editor. Excitement still rising. The following article appeared in the True Flag a day or two before the mob, and we suppose was the cause of the attack on that office: They have the Power-We hear it whispered about, that the ladies of town have under consideration a project that, if carried out, and we know of nothing to hinder, will most assuredly add greatly to the character of our place and show, too, that the ladies have a deep regard for the youth of the town. The project we allude to as being deliberated upon is that of endeavoring, by some way or another, to stop the traffic in intoxicating drinks.

Cincinnati (OH) Commercial Tribune, December 29, 1890, p. 1. VETERAN PASTOR RESIGNS Salem, Indiana, December 28-Rev. William McCoy preached his farewell sermon at the Mill Creek Baptist Church, four miles west of Salem, this morning after a continuous pastorate over this charge of 47 years. His resignation was offered 30 days ago and was accepted yesterday. There was a large crowd in attendance, people coming in sleighs, wagons and buggies from all over the county. The services were interesting and appropriate. An interesting sketch of the work of the church was prepared and read by the retiring pastor.
