    1. [INKOSCIU] Pierceton Cemetery
    2. Nancy Brannam
    3. Can anyone help me find the cemetery where my grandmother is buried? Her name is Nellie VanTassel Strieby. The census for 1900 on June 9th for Pierceton Town shows Nellie Strieby and her sons Herbert and Ralph, living with her mother, Lorenda Vantassel. Lorenda's son Walter and a daughter Bessie were also living at this home. Nellie's husband, Grant Strieby was not listed in this census. He had just moved to Columbia City, Whitley Co. and his family had not joined him yet. On Nov. 14 1900 Nellie died of consumption in Columbia City. Her obit in the Columbia City Commercial reads: Mrs. Grant Strieby died in her home on west Market Street of the dreaded disease, consumption. Mr. Strieby is employed by C. J. Eyanson, as a coat maker, and has recently moved from Pierceton. His family joined him two months ago. The remains were taken to Pierceton, overland by C. E. Stewart, where they will be interred. Tho I have checked at the Pierceton Library, and walked through the Cemeteries just south of town, and the one about a mile North of town, I cannot locate a grave for Nellie. This has been a long time search with no success. ANY help will be greatly appreciated. Nancy Strieby Brannam Surnames: STRIEBY - VANTASSEL - FORDYCE - FENTON - HOOVER - DYNNER
