Does anyone have any information on where John and Catherine Funk Royer is buried? I am also looking for Catherine's birth date and her death date. I would also like to know the names of their children and their birth dates. Any info would be appreciated.

Not all states have state censuses. My copy of the "Handy Book" is pretty ancient, so I don't know if the current edition tells all the state censuses or not. There is a book called "Search and Research" which will probably be available at many LDS Family History Centers. If I remember correctly, it gives details of what is included in each census. From what I have seen, I would guess most state censuses are available on film at the LDS FHC.

Look for the book State census records / Ann S. Lainhart. LC Control Number: 92072944 Type of Material: Book (Print, Microform, Electronic, etc.) Brief Description: Lainhart, Ann S. State census records / Ann S. Lainhart. Baltimore, Md. : Genealogical Publishing, 1992. 116 p. ; 24 cm.

I would be interested in this answer too. Does that mean that all of the states have those census? > The >"Handybook for Genealogists" states that there are State/Territorial >Census for 1853, 1859, 1866, and 1871. Would anyone know if these >census exist and how to go about viewing them, if they do? Do any of >the libraries have copies?

After I posted the message, I noticed my gg-grandmother's maiden name was incorrect. It should be Fredericka (SCHICK) EMMERT. Nancy

While looking at the map in the Posey Twp Cemetery book, I noticed an Emmert Cemetery, near Twin Beach & 340. Has this cemetery been read? I'm wondering if this is where my gg-grandmother, Fredericka (ROGGENSUESS) EMMERT is buried. She died Feb 18, 1884. Is this cemetery where 3 of the children (Carrie, Willie & Eddie) of my g-grandparents, Frederick & Catherine (ROGGENSUESS) EMMERT are buried. I do know that when my g-grandparents & gg-grandmother first came to Clay County they lived in Posey Township. My g-grandmother's sister & husband, Henry Charles & Lousia (ROGGENSUESS) HECK, also lived in Posey Twp. Are some of the HECK family buried in the Emmert cemetery? Any help greatly appreciated. Nancy

The "Handybook for Genealogists" states that there are State/Territorial Census for 1853, 1859, 1866, and 1871. Would anyone know if these census exist and how to go about viewing them, if they do? Do any of the libraries have copies?

Brother Vance W. Taylor, of Gosport, Ind., is no more! On Tuesday, April 25th, 1848, in company with some others, he went to the Stone-quarry, and while engaged in making a blast, the charge prematurely exploded, and he was killed instantly; having his head shockingly mangled. Brother Taylor was a member of the Church of Christ at Gosport, and has been for many years. He joined the church, and was immersed, in Mercer County, Ky., near Harrodsburg. He was a steadfast friend, a good neighbor, a peaceable citizen, an affectionate husband, and tender and very devoted Christian. But has thus been snatched away from the embraces of an affectionate and amiable companion, and three small children, whose loss cannot be repaired in this world; yet they have the universal sympathies of the brotherhood and the community in which they reside. And they have also the blessed hope of the christian to console them; they fully expect to meet bro. Taylor beyond the cold stream of death. May the Lord take care of the widow and children! J. M.

ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE. Departed this life on the 7th day of September, 1848, at 30 minutes past noon, at his residence near Spencer in Owen County, Indiana, Elder THOMAS C. JOHNSON. He was some 50 years of age. Seldom, if ever, has it fallen to my lot to record so afflictive a providence. Bro. Johnson, I believe, was born in Bourbon County, Ky., but his Father moved to Scott County, Ind. when he was quite young. Here he grew up to manhood and married Lettissia Harrod, daughter of William Harrod. In 1826 or '7, he removed to Owen County and located near Gosport where he followed, for several years, the business of school teaching, in which vocation he succeeded well. He was chosen Clerk and Recorder of Owen County about the year 1830, the duties of which office he discharged with singular ability. He has been elected to the same office twice since, almost unanimously, which shows the estimate the people of the county placed upon him as a public officer. And Judge McDonald has often been heard to say that he was "equal, if not superior, to any Clerk in the District." He enjoyed in a very eminent degree, the confience of all who knew him. When any legal question would arise among the farmers of the country, they always consulted "Tomy Johnson," as they familiarly called him, and his opinion was generally satisfactory to all concerned. In a word, he was an honest, intelligent and prudent business man, and always that kind, attentive, condescending and gentlemanly officer. But the best remains to be told. He was a CHRISTIAN. He embraced the religion of Jesus Christ when he was quite a boy and joined the people called "Christians," and by their enemies called "New Lights." And at a very early day he commenced preaching in that body. He was a very zealous and devoted advocate of what he believed to be true. He was considered one of the best hands to carry on a "camp meeting," in the state. He was a good singer and something of a poet, and it was supposed by some that he could sing all night, and in some instances, make his song as he went. "As a preacher he was perservering and zealous, and perhaps, in those times, enthusiastic. Under a very high sense of duty, and perhaps in some respects a mistaken view of the "call to the ministry," he labored almost incessantly through cold and heat, rain, snow and ice, opposition and poverty, but he succeeded nobly, in company with McClung, the Craftons, Joseph Berry, John Henderson, John Harrod, Jonathan Nicholas, Street Cox, Comings Brown, John Mavity, and many others of the same stamp. As a scholar, bro. Johnson's attainments in English literature were quite respectable, but not profound. He confined his studies mostly to the practical in life, and hence his education, which he acquired mostly by his own efforts after he was 30 years of age, was of the useful and practical kind. As a preacher, his talents were far above mediocrity, though it was very difficult to persuade him that such was the fact. He was modest and retiring, always esteeming others better than himself. He very seldom spoke more then 50 minutes at any time and his discoureses were generally very systematic and always interesting to his hearers. But his strong fort was Exhortation. When he planted himself upon the facts of the gospel and gradually led the sinner up to the cross of Christ, his features would kindle up, his voice would become animated, and his appeals were almost irresistible; and when he would portray the Judgment Day, and the solemn scenes or eternity, the sinner was made to tremble, and christians to weep over a ruined world. HIs eloquence was of the popular kind, and his voice was very melodious. Never shall I forget the sound of his voice or the deep pathos of his language when his countenance kindled into a living flame, he would exhort sinners to repent and turn to the Lord, or saints to perserverance. He embraced the Reformation as soon as he understood it, and became a pioneer in the cause in central Idiana. Brother Johnson was very pious. He was emphatically a praying man. He came to a throne of Grace with childlike simplicity and a humble boldness and would plead the promises of God before him with so much earnestness, power and pathos that soemtimes it seemed that the very "place was shaken." No man was better calculated than he to pour the balm of consolation into the wounded breast or, by his counsels, prayers and exhortations, to cheer the dying pilgrim and throw around the couch of the sick and the dying the sweet influence of hope. He was a very successful preacher and contributed much to build up and sustain the cause of God in Owen and adjoining counties. Long will his labors of love be remembered by the brethren at Union, Liberty, Bethlehem, Cloverdale, Spencer, Antioch, Concord, Richland and Republican. But his health had been sensibly on the decline for a number of years. His disease, which was dispepsy at first, gradually ran into the pulmonary consumption which, connected with a stubborn diarrhea, would not yield to medicine, terminated his earthly career. Some two weeks before his death I visited him and spent two nights and one day with him. The christian hope was the theme of his conversation, and I never conversed with any man who seemed to enjoy brighter evidence of a title to mansions in the skies. Bro. Johnson was a kind and affectionate husband and father, a constant friend, and a tender-hearted and benevolent man. Want went smiling from his door and the stranger never was neglected. Indeed, he was liberal almost to a fault. Bro. Johnson has left a companion and a large family of children to mourn their loss; and we assure Sister Lettissia and her family that we deeply sympathise with them in their bereavement. Brother Isaac E. Johnson, his second son, is the only one of his children who is a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. May God grant that the example of their father and his kind admonitions may yet influence them to put on the yoke of Christ! In conclusion, though the tongue of our beloved brother is now still in death and his voice forever hushed in the silence of the tomb; yet we have no doubt he sings the praises of God in the Paradise above. We therefore sorrow not as those who have no nope. O may we be faithful, that when the Lord comes again and brings all the saints with him, we may be prepared to enter into his everlasting kingdom, to join our glad voices in conection with our dear brother in swelling the loud Hallelujah that shall ascend from the redeemed multitude when they are assembled around the throne of God and the Lamb.

I am still working along on the land records of Clay Co. In book G, p 495 there is a record of a Michael Luther and wife **Cynthia Ann** selling land, NW 1/4 NE 1/4 Sec 9 T10 N, R 6 W to John Beuel. Michael had patented that land 8/1/39. Witness was Zim Ri Stroud. On the preceding page, there was a sale of Peter and Sarah Luther to Andrew Beuel, $400 for 79 ac (1 ac reserved for graveyard). Witnesses were William and **Abecal** Luther, William Luper the J. P. No idea who Abecal was. In 1850, Peter Luther had a woman, Lucinda Luther in the hshld, presumably the mother of the two young children, Diana Almeda and Peter J. I wonder if Michael who sold the above land was her missing husband. Is it possible Cynthia Ann and Lucinda were the same, name given mistakenly one place or the other?

1884 History of Owen County, pp. 826-828. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Town of Spencer. DAVID E. BEEM was born in Spencer, Owen Co., Ind., June 24, 1837, and is the sixth of twelve children of Levi and Sarah (Johnson) Beem, the former a native of Kentucky, the latter of Virginia. The father came to Indiana Territory in 1810, and settled in Owen County in 1817. The grandparents both entered land and made farms where the town of Spencer stands. Here the parents were married in February, 1825, and here they have resided every since. Having been born on a farm, our subject continued thereon, and was accustomed to all sorts of farm labor until he was nineteen years of age, when, having made suitable proficiency in the schools of his native town and by study at home, he entered the University at Bloomington, Ind., in 1856, and graduated from that institution in 1860; also, having chosen the law for his profession, he was admitted to the bar in the fall of 1860, and, forming a copartnership with the Hon. Samuel H. Buskirk, of Bloomington, he opened an office in Spencer. The war of the rebellion, however, broke out, and unsettled for a time his life purposes, as he felt it his duty to respond to the call for troops. He assisted in the organization of the first company that was raised in Owen County. On the 19th of April, 1861, five days after the fall of Fort Sumter, he enlisted as First Sergeant in Company H, Fourteenth Indiana Infantry, and on June 7, 1861, the company was mustered into the service. On the 10th of July, the regiment arrived at Rich Mountain, Va., and composed the reserve force during the battle of the next day at that place, joining in the pursuit of the rebels after that successful engagement, as far as Cheat Mountain, the regiment remaining there until October, 1861. In August, 1861, Sergt. Beem was promoted to First Lieutenant of his company. After having participated in numerous skirmishes, and having endured many hardships through the winter of 1861-62, the regiment was transferred to the Shenandoah Valley, and took an active part in the battle of Winchester on March 23, 1862, where Lieut. Beem received a severe wound in the chin. On a Surgeon's certificate, he received sixty days' leave of absence and returned home. At the expiration of his leave, he rejoined his command, and, in May, 1862, was promoted to Captain, which position he held until the expiration of his term of service, in June, 1864. After arduous and faithful service in the Shenandoah Valley, Capt. Beem's command was transferred in July, 1862, to the Army of the Potomac, and from that date to the expiration of its term of service the Fourteenth Indiana Infantry participated in all the great battles fought in that army. At Antietam, Capt. Beem's command lost in killed and mortally wounded just one-sixth of its number; and at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, and in many minor engagements, the Fourteenth Indiana fairly earned its reputation as a fighting regiment. In August, 1863, the regiment was sent to New York to aid in quelling the great draft riots which occurred there at that time. The number of officers and men killed or who died from wounds received in battle in Capt. Beem's company was nineteen. Only two of this number were killed when the Captain was not on duty with and in command of the company. On his return home from the service, Capt. Beem resumed the practice of law at Spencer, in which he has continued to the present time. He has also been actively engaged in business enterprises, with varying success, having organized the banking firm of Beem, Peden & Co. in Spencer, in June, 1870, and having been its managing member continuously to the present time. In 1873, he embarked with others in the pork packing business at Spencer, in which, on account of the failure of many of its customers, he lost a large part of his earnings in that and other business ventures. Capt. Beem has held no public office, nor sought any; is not a politician, in the usual sense of that term, but takes an active interest in matters political. Being a Republican in principle, he has always voted and acted with that party. Although he has never been a candidate for a political office, he has served his party as Chairman of its County Central Committee during three political campaigns, and in 1880 was a delegate from the Fifth Congressional District to the Chicago National Convention, in which he voted for the nomination of James A. Garfield for President. He was a School Trustee for many years, and aided in the organization of the Spencer Graded School. Since 1860, he has been a devoted and consistent member of and an active worker in the Methodist Episcopal Church. On April 10, 1861, he was married to Mahala Joslin, daughter of Dr. Amasa Joslin, one of the pioneer physicians of Spencer. Three children have been born to them, one girl and two boys, all of whom survive. Mrs. Beem is a zealous laborer in the church and Sabbath school, and in all benevolent and charitable movements.

Has a list been complied for the Zenor cemetary? I have some folks related through marriage there and would like to know if others of my family might be there. In particular Zachariah Moore d. 1863? Also has a list been done for the Poplar cemetary? My 2xgreat grandmother is buried there. Jaculine (Adeline) Moore. Terri

Here he met and married Delila Strong (l828-l883) in l844. They homesteaded a farm in Section 23 Morgan Township, Owen County, building a strong home which is still standing today and had six children. In his later years he was known to many as "Grosspop". I have a picture of the Price house built about l850; it stayed in the Price family until l906. I live fairly close to Spencer, IN. and Jordan Village is not far from there and I've been by the house and to the Mt. Zion Cemetery where they are buried. I haven't found any Price descendents to talk with, yet, but as I have time, I will... The Price Children are as follows: William W. Price - b.7-l-l847 and d.ll-2l-l878 married Margaret H. Foreman - 3-23-l87l; buried Mt.Zion Cem. Clay Co., IN. Mary Jane Price - b.3-24-l850 and d.2-8-l855 buried Mt. Zion Cem., Clay Co., IN.

I don't know about his parents or siblings. I'd like to know all the info you have about them. Thanks for the info. on your Daniel Price and his children. The Jacob Price reunion sounds very interesting - could you let me know when it is in September? I'd say we're definitely related - wouldn't you?!

At least one county in Indiana is doing better than Marion Co. did last year. Finding & restoring lost cemeteries, as this man is doing, would help genealogists. Kudos to Fayette Co. for hiring him. <A HREF="http://starnews.com/extra/features/99/dec/1207st_cemetery.html#top"> StarNews.com : Resurrecting cemeteries</A> Brenda Reeg Robison Indianapolis, IN
