The Indiana Geological Survey wants to know the locations of grave markers made from Indiana whetstone. They are easy to recognize. Even though they were made 150-170 years ago, they are still very easy to read. I found one the other day in the Weeping Willow Cemetery in Beanblossom in Brown county. Where else were these markers used? The stone was shipped around the mid-west probably throughout the inland waterways - even down to Louisiana. For more information see the Survey's web page: http://adamite.igs.indiana.edu/indsurv/research/index.htm When you get there, click on "wherstone gravestone". No one know how far the stone was shipped from southern Indiana. Thanks for your help and spread the word. Sarah Clevenger --------------0EA2B14A44F963FA0B9EE93E--
