Sandi, I have been looking in the 1880 census of Cass County. Have not found a Evilsizer. I'm a little over half way through the film. I will be looking some more tonight.

Would like contact with anyone having knowledge of this family. Have info to share. Thanks, Shelly, in Indianapolis

Wilsie Myrtle PENROSE married Thomas QUIGLEY in Cass County in 1909. Either she died or was divorced, because he married again in 1913. Would like to know anything more about Wilsie or her family. Do not know her parents' names. Thanks, Shelly in Indianapolis

Thanks to Chris, Gilbert, Annette and others for helping to identify Cook's Park found in an old photo I have. Chris, the post card of the "Casino at Cooks Park" is the same buliding in my photo except that the lights are not apparent. I suppose what I thought was a lake was actually Pegion Creek. Now I need to indentify the young lady in the photo. Her name is written as Ethel Traylor and information on the back of the photo says she is 17 and it is dated as 1918. My family line of Traylors are from around Evansville and Indianapolis. No one in my family can identify who Ethel Traylor is or how she fits into our line. Some of my folks are in their 90s. I am sending this note to all the Indiana lists that I subscribe to in an attempt to find a connection. If you receive more then one copy of this communique please disregard all except one. Again, thanks to all those that have helped, Paul Traylor Milwaukee Wisconsin ptraylor@gateway.net

Hi, I just found the other day at Western Reserve Library in Cleveland: 1880 Eel Twp. Logansport Cass Co Indiana Census Charles METTON age 28 (The name is also spelled METTEN) with his wife Jennie age 24 and their daughters Ida age 4 and Maud age 1 This is the first I've seen my great-grandmother in print as a little girl. (Ida) Also the first I've known about her parent's names. Can anyone help with lookups in city directories for that timeframe. Also are there marriage indexes to look for Jennie & Charles? Would love to discover Jennie's branch of the family. Christine Kale Corcoran Pittsburgh, PA

It is possible there is a record in the Cass County Recorder's office. This was and still is not mandatory and a large percentage do not record cemetery plots they purchase. My husband and I purchased plots several years ago and have never recorded them. If it were mandatory, there might be a lot better cemetery records, too.

Hello List, Does anyone know anything about the following surnames? I am really stumped on these and I live in S. Ca., which makes it hard to research. All of these surnames were in Logansport at the turn of the century (1900). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ulery, Rothermel, Winquist Thanks, Rick From California

Hi Paul, I have an Amanda ARCHER married to Thomas McELHANEY in Logansport, Cass Co. on 6JAN1836. They had one daughter that I know of... Susan, born 1844. Possibly a son Robert and a daughter Sarah, who I think was born to a second wife of Thomas. Does this Amanda ARCHER ring any bells for you?

Subject: Fw: [INPCRP] Fw: Tiptoeing Through The Graveyard I thought you might like to read this. It was forward to the preservation group from the Henry Co., Indiana list. Diana Mahan in Indiana ----- Original Message ----- To: Henry Co., Indiana List Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2000 9:43 AM Subject: Tiptoeing Through The Graveyard _________________________________________________________________> Tiptoeing Through The Graveyard A Guide to Discovering Your Ancestors in Cemeteries The practice of marking the final resting place of a loved one goes back thousands of years. The ancient pyramids are conceivably the greatest example, standing today as a reminder of the ancient Egyptian glorification of life after death. Roman catacombs, a subterranean burial place for early Christians, contained niches where the fully clothed bodies were placed and which were then sealed with a slab inscribed with the name of the deceased, date of death and a religious symbol. Many of the elaborate grave markers erected in the 19th and early 20th centuries were styled after the memorials of the ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian civilizations. Following the first World War, grave markers started to become smaller and less elaborate - plain crosses and simple, upright stone slabs decorated with carvings, symbols and epitaphs. __________________________________________________________________ Cemeteries are living lessons in history. People who buried their dead said much about themselves and the ones who had died. While not considered a primary information source, gravestones are an excellent source of dates, birthplaces, maiden names, spouses' names and parents' names. They can also provide evidence of military service, membership in a fraternal organization, and religious affiliations. Why should you visit the cemetery if you already have a birth and death date for your ancestor? Because you never know what you may find. Nearby gravestones can lead you to other family members. Little grave markers can tell the story of children who died in infancy for whom no other records exist. Flowers left on a grave may lead you to living descendants. Other than a few records and documents and, perhaps, some family jewelry or heirlooms, your ancestor's tombstone is the only physical evidence of the life they lived. There is nothing in your genealogical research that will connect you to your ancestor more than to stand in the one place on earth which contains their mortal remains and to see important pieces of their life carved into stone. It is an amazing, awe-inspiring experience. ___________________________________________________________________ How to Locate a Cemetery The first step in cemetery research is the obvious one - you need to learn where your ancestor is buried. Death records will often contain this information, as will obituaries. Published cemetery surveys may list your ancestors. You should also be sure to not overlook family members - they will often know of family burial locations or may be able to track down a mention on a mass or prayer card or in the family bible. Funeral homes and morticians can be great allies in helping you to locate in finding cemetery records. Funeral records may still exist which can contain a wealth of information, including the burial location.Funeral directors will have knowledge of most cemeteries in their area, and may also be able to point you to family members. If a funeral home is no longer in business, then check with other area funeral homes as they may know where the old records are located. If you know your ancestor's religious affiliation you may want to try contacting the church in the area where your ancestor lived. Churches often maintain attached cemeteries and also keep records for their members who are buried elsewhere. The local genealogical or family history society is another good place to turn. These groups are continually working to conserve valuable cemetery information and may have compiled cemetery indexes or be able to provide clues to little known burial locations, especially family cemeteries. Old local histories can also prove useful in identifying former names and locations for cemeteries which have been moved. The Internet is fast becoming a useful source for cemetery records as well. Many sites offer links to online cemetery records or you can use your favorite search engines to search for a specific cemetery. Special geographic place name search engines can also help to locate a cemetery, though the information available on the Internet varies widely by country. The U.S. Geographic Names Information Server, for example, allows you to narrow down your search by selecting cemetery as the feature type. If you have narrowed down the area, but aren't sure which cemetery may contain your ancestor, then maps can be of great assistance. Use land, tax or census records to help you pinpoint your ancestor's land on a map. You will often find them buried in a nearby cemetery, or even in a family cemetery on their own property. Topographic maps or locality maps may show cemeteries, roads, houses and farms. Even little details such as elevation features can be useful as cemeteries were often erected on high ground. __________________________________________________________________ Visiting the Cemetery Now that you have located the cemetery where your ancestor is buried, a little advance planning can really help to make your visit to the cemetery a success. If you have a choice in the matter, the best time to visit a cemetery is in the spring or fall - especially if it is one which is neglected and overgrown. Brush and grass will not be as high in the spring, which will help you to notice holes, rocks and such obstacles before you trip over them. Sometimes the season can have an impact on whether you even find the cemetery at all. I have located several family cemeteries in the southeastern U.S. which are situated in the middle of cornfields. Needless to say, it is nearly impossible to find such cemeteries when the corn is taller than you are! The well-dressed cemetery researcher wears long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy shoes and gloves to help ward off critters such as snakes, gnats, ticks and mosquitoes. If the cemetery is in a wooded or rural location you may also want to bring along a hoe to help cut down brush and a friend or fellow researcher for safety. Whether the cemetery is public or private, you should do a search for existing records. Most commonly known as sexton's records (a sexton is a caretaker responsible for the cemetery), these records can include burial registers, plat maps and plot records. These records will vary greatly by country and time period and may not exist, but never assume! A sign outside of the cemetery may be able to point you to its caretaker. Turn to the local phone book to contact area funeral directors or churches. Check with the area library or historical/genealogical society for tips on possible record locations. You may be surprised by what you can find. One last thing - before you visit a private cemetery, be sure to get permission from the land owner. ___________________________________________________________________ Plan Ahead for a Successful Cemetery Visit ~Dress appropriately ~Bring paper, several pencils, a camera and plenty of film ~Consider bringing optional "toys" such as a video camera, tape recorder or a Palm Pilot ~Extra batteries for anything that may need them! ~If you plan to do any tombstone rubbings, then be sure to bring the appropriate supplies ~Water, rags and a soft nylon bristle brush for cleaning stones, plus clippers for clearing away grass and brush ~If you are looking for unmarked cemeteries, you may want to bring a map so that you can mark their locations as you locate them ____________________________________________________________________ Stories in Stone The highlight of any trip to the cemetery is reading the stones. Once you have taken that irresistible quick peek for your ancestor's headstone, however, you should stop and plan out your route around the cemetery. Methodical might be boring, but it greatly decreases your chances of missing something important. If the cemetery is not too large, and you have enough time, it can be very helpful to make a complete transcription of the cemetery. Even if you only make note of the names and dates on each tombstone, along with their location in the cemetery, this can save you a trip back in the future as well as help other researchers. There is a lot of information and advice available on the proper methods for transcribing tombstones. While these can serve as great reference guides, there is really no need to worry about formality. The important thing is to make a note of everything that you see. _________________________________________________________________ Make Your Visit Count Write down names, dates and inscriptions exactly as they appear on the stone. It is very easy to make assumptions in the excitement of the moment, and it will be very beneficial to have an accurate record as you move forward (or backward as the case may be!) with your research. Be sure to sketch any symbols that you are unfamiliar with so that you can look them up later. These symbols or emblems may be valuable clues to membership in an organization which may have records about your ancestor. Make a note of the relationship between tombstones as well. Family members will often be buried together in the same plot. Nearby graves may belong to parents. Small unmarked stones may indicate children that died in their infancy. Neighbors and relatives may also be buried in adjoining sections. As you make your way around, be sure not to miss the back of the stones as they can also contain important information. Another good way to record cemetery information is to use a cassette recorder or even a video camera as you move around the cemetery. You can read off names, dates and inscriptions easily and make note of important information, such as when you start a new row. It also provides you with a backup for any written transcriptions that you have made. Pictures are worth a thousand words and are much better for tombstones than chalk or shaving cream. Use hand-held clippers to clear brush away from the stone and then use a nylon (never wire) bristle brush and plain water to clean the stone from bottom to top, rinsing well as you go. A bright sunny day and a mirror to help reflect the sunlight on the stone can really help to bring out the carvings. Enjoy yourself! Visiting cemeteries is one of the most rewarding parts of genealogy research, so stop and take the time to commune with your ancestors. _________________________________________________________________ For More Information Cemetery Research Lots of great links for online cemetery records and cemetery research ________________________________________________________________ How to Do A Tombstone Rubbing A fun way to preserve cemetery history!

Hi Debby, I live in ILL. so I can be there to help and my health wouldn't permit it anyway but it does sound like you ALL are doing a great job. Paula Researching: Sterling, Robson, Conrad, Davenport, Fisher, McGary, Trudeau, Bourdeau, Dupuis, Southard, Wickham, Lord

Thanks to those who have made a difference at Sprinkle Cemetery. Much work has been done and much remains. We plan to meet at the cemetery today about 1 p.m. We still have poultice to remove and stones to clean. I completed the map of the cemetery this past week and would like to start moving markers to their original sites. There are about 2 dozen that have been found around the perimeter of the cemetery that are included here. There are also about 3 dozen names on a 1942 reading that we did not find. Many are shared markers, but can't tell you at the moment how many missing markers that represents. Jack Countryman found parts of a marker and a footstone in the brush along the south fence last Saturday. So at some point we will need help cleaning out the fence row and hauling off the debris, so that we can examine the area better. Come help if you can.
