You can see the stone driveway go up a hill and out of sight as you approach driving down 200S. To get to Hicks take 231 West (54) out of Bloomfield to 57 S, turn left and go to CR200S. Turn left again and follow the road until it dead ends into 275W. You can't miss the cemetery. There is no sign marking it because this is an abandoned cemetery next to a fenced pasture, surrounded on three sides by farms. There are very few headstones left in the cemetery. With the exception of a very few, all of the headstones that are remaining are severely weatherworn and most are illegible. The headstones are broken or vandalized and many have been piled under trees. Many stones are lying on the ground, many of them sinking in the earth and becoming buried. I can't say how many burials were in the cemetery by my visit, but there are countless rectangular depressions everyone, and the ground is spongy under the feet. Someone has left artificial flowers on a few of the graves. I took pictures of the cemetery and all of the stones. I saw the names Sinclair, Keys, Gillett, Benham, Shepherd, Dugger, Sherrow, Shoptaw, Rampley, Hayes, Smith, Laymon, Day and Doyle. Other names were just too worn to read. I have Sinclair relatives buried there. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I checked the index and found no Tuttle's listed at all. However, newfangled ways allow me to scan the entire thing for specific words, as you know, and this is what I found on pages 609 & 610: THE SCHOOLS OF SULLIVAN. "The first school building erected in Sullivan was a very good two story brick building, known as the County Seminary; builders, F. G. McGrew and James Pound. The building was erected in 1844, by the county under the old seminary law. Mr. A. J. Mails taught the first schools in this building, teaching some two years. In the fall of 1848 the Trustees, Joseph Gray, Dr. William Crowder and A. J. Thixton, employed James W. Hinkle to take charge of this school, which he did in October, 1848, continuing in charge thereof for three years, until the abolishing of county seminaries by act of the State Legislature. During these years, the one teacher was teacher of primary, intermediate, grammar and high school departments. Having charge of all those of school age in town and vicinity, and many young gentleman and ladies from contiguous counties, and if the teacher of to-day thinks his labors too arduous, let him take seventy-five students, all grades, from the alphabet to the higher mathematics, Latin, etc., and try that. And when we remember the absolute moral control exerted by the teacher in those days over all those brought under his influence both in and out of school, we fear that the new devices have not been improvements. As an example, a widow lady of Knox County removed to this town to give her fifteen-year-old son the advantages of this school. Not having been accustomed to this kind of confinement and labor, he became restless, and took to the streets and elsewhere for pastime. The mother appealed to the teacher, the teacher appealed to the young man, with a statement of the trouble and expense that the mother had been to, to give him the privileges of the school, and the order, now was positive that while she remained, he must be in his place; if not, there would be a penalty, if it had to be imposed in the street, and he was in his place henceforth. Neither did we expel a lad from twelve to fifteen years of age in those days for insubordination When a case of this kind occurred, it was "you walk the chalk or there will be a conflict right here, and now" and he walked every time. During the years from 1852 to 1872, some very good work was done in teaching, both public and private schools in this new town; and in the performance of this work, quite a number of teachers were successively engaged, the number and names of which we may not be expected to give in full, without some record to which to refer. But of these were Prof. Penfield, Prof. Wilkey, Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Booth, James Booth, Prof. J. H. Gans and his sister, Miss Hal Gans, afterward Mrs. Dr. Tuttle; Miss Stowell and Miss Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Coffey, a Mr. Thair, Charles R. Wallace, John Osburn, Prof. Morton, Mrs. Carrie Russell, Clark McIntire, S. T. Langdon, Mrs. Hanchett, Mrs. Ada Young, Miss Jennie Young, the Rev. Montgomery, Prof. Cain et al." I know it is meeger but I think it does play into your belief that Samuel was a preacher (perhaps a Dr. of divinity?). Good luck!

The main source being from our shared cousin, Garrett H Miller (1899-1987) who in the 1950's recorded that Edna Moore married a Thomas Rankins and was the daughter of Jesse Robert Moore and Rachel Coleman. The 1900 census shows Edna with widower Robert and his brother Calvin and parents William and Lucinda Starks Moore. Let's correspond.

For a while I thought she may have been a daughter of Robert Moore also but was unable to prove her parentage. I'd love to share any information. I do have a photo if you'd like to compare. Even though my father is still alive, he is unable to tell us much of anything about her or her family. Only that both her parents died when she was very young, her father died from a mule kick to the head. I've been struggling with this line since I started researching! It is very frustrating for me.
