While visiting Newberry I went to the New Slinkard Cemetery and the Newberry Cemetery. I took some random pics of familiar names from this list. I intended to post them to the list but Rootsweb won't let me. So, I am going to describe the pics and if any are of interest to you send me your personal email address and I will send them privately. One pic is the sign at the entrance of the town just as you cross over the White River. You will see by the sign the town is quite small. I spoke to a number of folk and most don't live in Newberry they just come to town to work in the bank, post office and gas station/market. The only industry in Newberry is a place a local called "The Stink Plant" (Griffin Industries), I never did quite discover what the plant manufactured besides the smell. You have to pass this plant and then cross the "crick" to get to the New Slinkard Cemetery. Apparently, this is the same route to the Old Slinkard, but you have to walk back to the site! and I didn't. According to the book "Cemeteries of Eastern Greene County, the Old Slinkard Cemetery is described as follows: "CASS TOWNSHIP, Section 36. Turn east off State Road 57 in Newberry and follow the signs south to Griffin Industries, which is on County Road 400W. About 200 yards northeast of the water meter at Griffin Industries is a pile of broken marble, which is all that is left of the Old Slinkard Cemetery, said to have contained at least 40 graves at one time. Among the jumble of badly broken markers, two fragments were legible with the names of Samuel Hughen and Samuel Skomp. Searched for and found by Sandra Uland Taylor and Mildred Uland, September 1993." The following list of burials are recorded in the original book "Cemeteries of Eastern Greene County." Slinkard, John Apr 1824 - Apr 1828 Slinkard, John 1821 Slinkard, Catherine Wentz Slinkard, Frederick 1860 Slindard, Catherine 67 yr 5 Aug 1875 Slinkard, Cynthia 1 Oct 1851 Skomp, Samuel 23 Sep 1775 - 1847 Skomp, Susanna Switzer 16 Apr 1776 - 21 Apr 1851 Skomp, Isaac 2 Dec 1804 - 9 July 1874 Skomp, Sally Wesner 11 Aug 1812 - 25 Jan 1851 Skomp, Rebecca C. 20 Jan 1851 - 1 Sep 1851 Bogard, Harriet d/o Abner & Jane 7 yr 9 mo Dec 1841 Hughen, Samuel 2 Nov 1782 Additionally, in the Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of American Revolution Buried in Indiana records the name REANY (REINEY), JOSEPH, Revolutionary War. Joseph Reany was born about 1754 near Burlington New Jersey, died 8 Sep 1846, buried in Old Slinkard Cemetery, Cass Township. Service - served as private in NC troops as follows, Oct 1779, 5 months in Capt John O'Donald's Co in John Locke's Regt; July 1780, 3 months in Capt Peter O'Neals Co under Col. Paisley and was in the battle of Camden; from Oct 1780, 3 months in Capt James Robinson's Co in Col John Littrel's Regt; in 1781, 2 months in Capt Thomas Dugan's Co. What this indicates is that there are at least 20 "lost" ancestors in the Old Slinkard. Now to the pics. Mary E. Slinkard Daniel E. Skomp Charlotte Weaver Harriet E.

Winfield Craft Doris Craft Deck Emery Quackenbush Iva Grace & Alva Hindman Emma Jan Knight Melvin Hindman I also took some shots of the New Slinkard from the road to show the condition of the cemetery. Some of the headstones are hidden in and amongst the trees and shrubs. Some are in pretty bad condition. Some are in great condition. The really good ones appear to be recent additions to the cemetery, probably replacements for badly damaged ones. It's great to see descendents care enough to go to the expense of replacing badly damaged headstones. Peggy
