I have just finished sending the picture of the monument in Cedar Hill Cemetery to all those that e-mailed me a requested it. I also have some census records for some buried there and some marriages. I have just started this project and I am not very far on it. I would appreciate anyone that does have family listed e-mail me. The list that I sent was the one that I copied from the library. It was compiled when the stones were removed. Here is what was at the bottom of one of the pages. Note at the bottom of the page - I do not know the two ladies listed. There was no date either. So I am not sure when exactly the stones were taken to the dump???? Notice the date on the paper November 21, 194- I suppose you are to guess at this one?? "These records are as complete as possible at this late date, all tombstones are preserved in James Hill Historical Park, or Memorial Park and are ready for inspection at any time to the public." "Mrs. Thomas E. Merritt Chr. James Hill Memorial Park Comm." "Mrs. Victor S. Crane Chr Genealogical Comm." This page was also included with the index Records from Cedar Hill Cemetery, Lebanon, Boone county, Indiana September 1, 1953 Copied and compiled by the ladies of the James Hill Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Inasmuch as there had been no burials in the Cedar Hill Cemetery for over 60 years, the City Council of Lebanon passed a resolution allowing said Cemetery to be converted into a Memorial Park, such park to have the name of the local D.A.R. Chapter Vis: James Hill Memorial Park. General James Hill for whom the Chapter is named is buried under a granite slab of major proportions and will constitute the central portion of the James Hill Memorial Park. A brief history of James Hill follows: "James Hill was born in Virginia, near Danville, Dec. --, 1745; he was captured by Indians when he was seven years of age; he escaped from them when he was twenty, as a captive of the Indians he suffered all the indignities which could be heaped upon him as a prisoner. He made his way to Lexington, Kentucky after his escape and in time was married to Clark." He was called to fight for his country in 1776; He was a true patriot. The granite marker mentioned is that placed by the City Fathers to commemorate his memory; he died in 1854 at the age of one hundred and nine years. The unveiling of his marker was in charge of the Rich Mountain Post 42 G.A. R. and the Women's Relief Corps L Company of Indiana Guards. He died in Lebanon in the home of a great grandson, Reverend William H. Williams. Quotes from the Lebanon Reporter November 21, 194-- "Hill the Soldier, the Patriot and Officer marking with significant tread to contend for his country's justification. He came to the end of existence just seven years before the Civil War his Historical decade almost meeting the chapters of another rebellion. As the old soldier went down the last bend of his sunset trail he proudly stated "I LOVE MY COUNTRY" I hope this helps clear up some questions any one has. Still Searching, Kim Hancock
