who do you need.?? I would appreciate knowing the data on Rainey Sturdivant (1818 - ?)and Martha Payne Sturdivant (b. 1820/22 - ?) whom I think died in Clay Co IN. At one time they lived in Cass Twp. Also, what are the hours for the Clay Co Genealogical Society Library?

Is there a listing in the Master Index for Zachariah Moore who died in 1863. He lived in Jackson Township. I know pretty much where the rest of my Moore's (the other line) are buried (Cottage Hill and Poplar cemetaries) but Zachariah remains my mystery man. terri

Is Harmony in Posey Tws.? All I have on my great-grandparents is they lived and were buried in Harmony, they worked the coal mines, they came from Wales, and one of them played the organ for the Episcopal Church on the circle in Indy. Thank you for the information, Karen

Hi, It looks as though many are interested in the Cemetery Books published by the Clay County Genealogical Society so I will offer some information here that may be helpful. Laura, the book that you used at the Brazil Public Library is the Master Cemetery Index. Indeed, that does not give any more information than the cemetery code. We have, however, published 3 complete Township cemetery books to date and the 4th one is at the printer's now and will be available in a couple of weeks. Two more Townships have been finished and are being proofed and corrected and will be available very soon. These books contain the following information (if available) for EACH person: Surname, Given Name, Birth, Death, Age (at death), Cemetery, and Remarks, which includes any other helpful information from the stone, such as parents' names, Military info, husband or wife's name, marriage date, etc. If you are interested in ordering, these are the Townships that are presently available: Posey Township $15.00 + $3.00 shipping Sugar Ridge Township $12.50 + $3.00 shipping Perry Township $10.00 + $3.00 shipping Cass Township is currently being printed but I am not sure of the cost yet. Next to be published are Harrison and Van Buren Townships. If you are interested in buying any of the above available publications, you may send payment and order to: Clay County Genealogical Society, Inc PO Box 56 Center Point, IN 47840-0056 If you have questions about Cass Twp. Cemetery book cost or what cemeteries are included in each book, you may e-mail me or the society at: ccgslib@ticz.com or call us during our business hours Mon., Wed, or Sat 1-4 p.m. Phone: 812-835-5005 Hope this helps clear up any questions, but I will be glad to answer any others.

The Brazil Public Library annex (1-812-446-1331) building containing the Genealogy Dept. has this book. I have used it. You look up a name, and it gives a code for the cemetery name. Nothing else. Some, if not all, of the cemeteries have had tombstone inscriptions published, some years back, which is how I have found a few ancestors. I'm sure Brazil Public has these too, which might be more helpful to you because they are open more hours a week than the Genealogical Society Library. Vigo County Public Library in Terre Haute has the tombstone inscription books, but not (at this point) the master list of names and what cemetery they are buried in. One of the problems I ran in to initially was that the books listed my great-grandparents as buried in the Catholic Cemetery, but I didn't find out for a long time time it was now owned by the city and called Restlawn. Probably locals knew that, but we out-of-towners didn't! The woman who has been very helpful the times I have visited the Brazil Public Library annex is Penny Shad. She knows her material well.
