Jon, Yes there are more CSA prisoners buried in Indiana...here is the site with the listing for them. http://www.indianainthecivilwar.com/prisoner.htm Most of the CSA burials at Crown Hill were first interred at the old City Cemetery(Greenlawn) in Indianapolis.....the story is on the Crown Hill link. Click on the links at the left---Crown Hill,Evansville,Thorntown,Terre Haute. I find CSA soldiers buried in Indiana just about every month. Many moved to the area after the war and ended up staying. If you need any help give me a buzz.

Just incase anyone is heading that way. Don't you wish they would sale videotapes more often. Maybe someday. L A Tippecanoe County Pioneer Cemeteries Group Coordinator See our cemeteries at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~intippec/tcem.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Gravestones and Cemeteries: A Genealogical Seminar Saturday, February 9, 2002, 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, Mass. Join NEHGS as we present a series of dynamic lectures designed to teach beginner to advanced researchers how to optimize gravestone and cemetery resources. Whether you are searching for the grave of your ancestor, or want to interpret information from gravestones, every genealogist is sure to benefit from this special program. Featured lectures are: Utilizing Cemetery and Gravestone Resources at NEHGS, David Allen Lambert A trip to the library is regarded to be an essential primary step involved when embarking on cemetery and gravestone research. In this lecture, you will discover the most useful resources available and how to effectively use them. Special attention will be dedicated to NEHGS collections of printed, manuscript, and microform materials for Massachusetts cemeteries. David Allen Lambert, Library Supervisor of the technology room at NEHGS, has dedicated 15 years of research on the subject. The results are exemplified in his imminent publication, A Guide to Massachusetts Cemeteries, to be released in February 2002. A New Look at Old Records: Searching for Your Ancestor's Gravestone, David C. Dearborn, FASG In this lecture, David C. Dearborn will share valuable insight that is based on his personal research conducted within cemeteries. He will highlight the most valuable sources and methodologies for discovering ancestral burial places, including clues from death certificates, obituaries and maps, as well as records kept by cemeteries themselves. David C. Dearborn has been a reference librarian for the past 25 years. He is contributing editor for the Register and The American Genealogist. Understanding 17th-20th Century Gravestones, Laurel K. Gabel This presentation will introduce you to the attitudes about death and memorialization that these historic artifacts reflect. With a focus on early New England gravemarkers and their carvers, the Rural Cemetery Movement, fraternal symbolism, heraldic gravestones, and the historic and modern use of photography in mourning and memorialization, the program promises to make you look at area gravestones with new insight and appreciation. The lecture will also discuss the evolution of gravestone styles and symbols and how to look for and interpret the information on the stones for genealogical research. Laurel K. Gabel is honorary trustee and head of the research department for The Association for Gravestone Studies. She is co-author of the Gravestone Chronicles I and II. Memories in Stone: Reading Cemetery Landscapes, Janet Heywood Learning to read cemetery landscapes will aid in finding and appreciating available information. This presentation takes a lively look at changes in cemetery design, commemorative choices and burial practices.

Hate to disagree, but the causeway to the island was built between 1968 and 1972 as a private road and not opened to the public until 1977 for visitations to the cemetery. That is why they called it an island. There was no road or access, except by boat or ice bridge before that.

The site of Camp Chase is not on Johnson's Island. Camp Chase is Columbus,Ohio. Johnson's Island Prisoner of War Camp is on Johnson's Island near Sandusky. There has always been a causeway making the cemetery easy to visit. The area historical society has information available for researchers.

Jack: If that link does not work, which it apparently doesn't, try www.johnsonsisland.com also, the number of burials sounds awfully high. There aren't but about 300 burials at Johnson's Island. Camp Chase is a fairly good sized cemetery. Maybe a couple thousand. Of course, they have a lot of them they cannot account for up on the Island. During the rough winter of 1863, WITH NO FOOD, they had several disappear under mysterious circumstances and they damn sure didn't escape. Although, a few did. I guess they had to do whatever it took to stay alive. Anyway, there is a real interesting site about Camp Chase and the cemetery and people that were there on geocities.

Jack: So everyone better understands. Camp Chase is in Columbus. Johnson's Island is off Sandusky in Lake Erie. Both were Union prisons housing Confederates and had a lot of deaths from disease and burials of Confederates along with a Union soldier from Indiana shot for treason. Most POW's were officers. Johnson's Island was built to ease the load of Camp Chase. Camp Chase was located downtown Columbus near 2nd and Broadway Sts. There is a lot of interesting material about both on the web. American History magazine had a good two part article back in 1998. I have a book and video called "Rebel Fire/Yankee Ice" about Johnson's Island if you want to borrow it. Johnson's Island was sort of a Northern Andersonville, but you never heard about it in the north. Conditions, mostly climate and food were terrible. Hence, the great amount of deaths. David Bush from Heidelberg (OH) University has done a tremendous amount of archealogical research on the property. Both Federal and Prison sites and cemetery along with Rich Green of HAR, over the last few years. I've been especially interested in it all, because my great-grandfather was a Union Guard who transported prisoners from Camp Chase to Johnson's Island and stood guard duty many a cold winter there. David Bush has a website at http://heidelberg.edu/~dbush/ or go to any search engine for Johnson's Island or Camp Chase. Rootweb has Tennessee Confederate Burials listed, etc. etc. Good Stuff, if you're interested and quite a place to see.

So the Sheriff gets money or not? I have always heard they get _something_ in terms of $$$. I guess this is the bounty you talk about.

I just got word that Senate Bill 526 addresses our "portable cemeteries" issue. I'm at work and have NOT had a chance to review or even read the proposal, but you can take a look at it and let me know your thoughts. Access SB 526 from: http://www.IN.gov/serv/lsa_billinfo?year=2002&session=1&request=all or http://www.IN.gov/serv/lsa_billinfo Lois

"Requires a person who wishes to obtain a court order to remove a deceased human being from a cemetery to demonstrate that the removal complies with an archeological plan or a development plan approved by the DNR. " This is what is says about cemeteries. The rest deals with state owned historical property. Sharon Howell

About Confederate Cemetery in Ohio Jack

I thought someone may like to know the following; I Ran across an article published in the Akron Beacon Journal, Sunday, May 24, 1998. I thought it was interesting, because it says most people in the area of Columbus don't know it's a Confederate Cemetery. Originally there was a "Camp Chase" on Johnson's Island which At one time held 9,416 Southern Prisoners. The Confederate Dead are buried in the one time camp. The article says since Real Estate Developers have built a causeway off Marblehead Peninsula, visitors have been able to pay a toll and drive over and see the Johnson Island Cemetery. The Island is in Sandusky Bay. There is a Historical Marker at the Entrance Rd. near 10414 Bay Shore rd. East of Lakeside and Marblehead. The Article can be found at ; www.ohio.com/travel/fran/docs/052498.html

I just received a report on the Stewert-Greisinger Cemetery North Webster, Noble County, Indiana located near North Webster, Noble County, Indiana.

Mark, Thanks for posting this. I note that the stone you worked on is slightly different than the Civil War veterans tombstones we have here in California. Has anyone heard about other differences in other states for these types of stones. The majority of our original Civil War stones were first shipped for placement in the early 1890s.

Hello, Lois asked me to post a link to the article on the restoration of John Fitzsimmons of the 19th Ind Inf,co E.
