The remains will arrive on the 1 o'clock train and be taken immediately to the cemetery where brief services will be conducted by Rev. H.L. Nave. Mrs. Bell was a sister of Mrs. S.E. Williams, who lives at 414 East Main Street.

Karen, Use the CPL cemetery locator and bring up the map, enlarge the map image and then click the satellite view. The cemetery is clearly visible. The cemetery is located on a farm just south of county road E250S and east of county road 350E about 3/4 mile north of Indiana 234. It looks like there may be a lane or path along the fence row.

A Soul Keeper shelters people who have lost their 'way', usually in an attempt to revive their religious purpose. In the Context of having a German surname, I would look towards one of the Germanic churches, perhaps Lutheran, or Brethren.

Yes, the Willis is Nathaniel Parker Willis. His whole story is quite sad but he was a great photographer, winning many prizes. I'm not sure who the McQuown is -- about the only one in our area was James but in 1900 he is listed as a gardner and in 1880 I can't read what it says - teanking school (can't figure it out) & Farming but since he's the ONLY one I've found in the area it must be him.
