Beej in AZ, Thanks for the site. I have e-mailed them with a possible site in Butler Co OH where my ancestors, a Revolutionary soldier and wife are buried. I always said the stones looked like river rock. They are a brownish color with lovely carvings and look as good as the day they were set. It is apparently very hard, as the stone for their son-in-law, also a Rev. soldier, was grown into a very, very large tree. The last time we were there, the tree had been cut down, and not a nick in the stone. We were amazed to say the least. These stones are like large tablets and are only about 2" thick. There were other stones there of similar condition. I haven't been there for at least ten years. The farmer kept plowing in a little further. Everytime we went, we would go out into the field and pick up pieces parts and bring them back into the cemetery. Couldn't get a rise out of any responsible persons in Butler County. Too bad.

LIST OWNER THIS IS OFF TOPIC BUT VERY IMPORTANT FOR RESEARCH AS DEALS WITH OUR ANCESTORS AND THE WHY AND WHERE TO FIND WHERE THIS STONE WENT. Delete if you don't want this posted. I have included the original posts from the INPCRP list and am sending this out to lists that I belong to and/or for special mailings I make. The following URL/ link goes to the clickable site mentioned in the post below. I do hope that this survey can be helped. Print this out and save it so that when you do see such a stone you can contact the people that desire to track down where this stone has been sent and used.

LIST OWNER THIS IS OFF TOPIC YOU MAY DELETE IF YOU SO DESIRE. IT DOES NOT HAVE SURNAMES OR ST OR CO NAMES. I found the following on another list and thought this might be a bit of GENEALOGY TRIVIA that would be of interest to some. Me I have printed out several and put one in several of my genealogy notebooks that are used frequently, that way I don't have to run to one all the time if a postage date is in question. Beej : Fri, 25 Feb 2000 09:57:29 -0500 From: Judy Nordgren <JNordgren@KORYUBOOKS.COM> Subject: Stamps on old letters Do you have a stash of old family letters with blurred unreadable postmarks and no dates inside? These postal rate changes will help a little on dating those old letters. July 1, 1885 2 cents Nov 3, 1917 3 cents July 1, 1919 2 cents July 6, 1932 3 cents Aug 1, 1958 4 cents Jan 7, 1963 5 cents May 16, 1971 8 cents Mar 2, 1974 10 cents and up I was not aware of the change up and down from 2 to 3 cents and that fact explains some of my dating problems. I read this information in a newspaper back in Jan when they were proposing a new postal increase.

Subject: How To Survive A Heart Attack, Received: from mercyhealth.com, The following message is from Health Cares, Rochester General Hospital via Chapter 240's newsletter AND THE BEAT GOES ON (reprint from The Mended Hearts, Inc. publication, Heart Response).

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed in order.) Without help the person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and veryvigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm.

I am hunting for marriage records for 1904 to 1910 in Madison county, IN. Does anyone have access to these dates? Seeking a marriage for: C. O. (Clell) Brattain to Julie Derry Feb 16, 1907 and Ernest Ross to Effie Green between 1904 to 1910. I have check Fountain and Warren counties, IN and Vermilion, Ford, and Iroquois, IL for these marriages. They were living Close to these areas in 1910. These two were orginally from the Madison, Hamilton, and Tipton Counties area. Thanks for any help anyone can give me or advice on where else to look. Carol HIcks Hoopeston, IL

Does anyone know if the Chaplin Cemetery in Alexandria and the Lily Creek Cemetery has been transcribed? I went to them yesterday and they are in very sad shape. I wrote down as many names as I could decipher, but don't want to step on any toes if they have already been done. Thanks, Barbara L Richardson

Hi Glen, This is not my family, but here are some tidbits that may interest you.

Richardville County is now Howard Co IN, but extended into the western part of Grant, and perhaps Madison Co (the portion of Grant that was cut off from Grant and added to Madison Co. There may have been some surrounding counties also involved. Much of it involved "float land" / land set aside to settle Indian claims. I read a good description of this county in a Howard Co history, but don't remember all of the counties involved. Can anyone out there comment on Rainsville Co?
